COTABATO CITY – Anti-narcotics agents nabbed a drug suspect here and seized some PHP34,000 worth of shabu on Thursday night.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency–Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Director Juvenal Azurin identified the suspect as Owens Atundocan Ardedon, of Zone 3, Barangay Rosary Heights 1.
“Ardedon was collared as soon as the exchange between him and our poseur-buyer took place near a school in their village around 10:30 p.m.,” Azurin said in a report.
He said a tipster earlier contacted them on the illegal activities of the suspect in the area.
Seized from the suspect were some five grams of shabu with an estimated street value of PHP34,000; drug paraphernalia and the “boodle money” stacked with one genuine PHP1,000 on top of photocopied PHP1,000 bills.
