Isabela City police commander Superintendent Allan Nazaro identified the suspects as Kulot Sebastian, 18, and Hasim Adi, 26, both residents of Kaumpurnah village.
The suspects were nabbed at the residence of Amin Jaladi, also a known alleged drug pusher. Jaladi, however, was not around during arrest.
The authorities tagged Kaumpurnah as a drug-infested barangay in Isabela City.
