A TOTAL of P81,600 worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu was seized from three drug suspects following an entrapment operation inside a makeshift drug den in Barangay San Isidro, Magalang town on Saturday night, June 4, 2022.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Pampanga Provincial Office identified the arrested suspects as alias “Brix," “Abner” and “Max”, all residents of the said barangay.

Authorities said the suspects were caught off guard when the operating team swooped down the makeshift drug den at 6 p.m.

The raid yielded four heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing some 12 grams with an estimated street value of P81,600; assorted drug paraphernalia; and the buy-bust money.

Cases for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 will be charged against the arrested suspects.
