Police have arrested five high-value targets and seized over P1 million worth of illegal drugs in two separate anti-narcotics operations in Makati City and Quezon City on Tuesday.
A composite team from the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), Quezon City Police District (QCPD), and its Police Substation in Talipapa arrested John Rey Aceron, 34, and Venancio Campania Obcianal, 31, during a buy-bust operation along Quirino Highway in Barangay Balonbato, Quezon City.
Seized from the suspects were 100 grams of shabu worth P680,000 and the money used in the entrapment. The suspects, who are now detained at the QCPD detention center, will be charged with violation of Republic Act 9165 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, while the seized drugs were turned over to the district’s Crime Laboratory Office for chemical analysis.
Arrested in Makati were Rocky Silvestre Abejo, also known as “Red Horse,” 34; Enrico Teng Moralida, also known as “Tarek,” 23, and Kreyzann Nuas Del Rosario, also known as “Bebang,” 39, all residents of Barangay Guadalupe.
At 6:50 p.m. on Wednesday, the Makati City Police Station and its Police Substation 6 conducted the entrapment along Bernardino Street in Barangay Guadalupe Viejo. A police officer acted as a poser-buyer and was able to purchase a plastic sachet containing shabu from the suspects.
The authorities also recovered another five plastic sachets containing 60 grams of shabu worth P408,000, a mobile phone, and the money used by the police officer who acted as the buyer.
The suspects were brought to the Makati City Police Station. At the same time, charges of violating Sections 5 and 11 under Article II of R.A. 9165 will also be filed against them before the City Prosecutor’s Office.
