AN ESTIMATED P405,000 worth of suspected “shabu” or methamphetamine hydrochloride was seized in a drug bust by operatives of Police Station 3 at Abada Escay, Brgy Vista Alegre, Bacolod City Friday morning, December 6.

The operation also led to the arrest of Hector Vivas, 23, and Eman Jimena, 53, both residents of Barangay Vista Alegre.
