Shabu chemicals seized in Marikina raid

MANILA, Philippines — Police seized chemicals used to manufacture shabu in a four-story house in Marikina City yesterday.

Marikina police chief Senior Superintendent Roger Quesada said an undertemined quantity of precursors were recovered at the house located in a subdivision in Barangay Nangka.

Quesada could not give an estimate of the amount of chemicals they seized as the inventory was still ongoing as of last night.

Policemen searched the house at around 5 p.m. after they received information from residents it is owned by Jiang Minshan, a Chinese who was arrested during a raid at a clandestine laboratory in Malabon City last week.

“The residents informed us about the house when they saw their neighbor on television,” Quesada said, referring to Jiang.

The chemicals were placed inside plastic containers of different sizes, he said.
