MANILA, Philippines — At least 5.3 kilos of shabu with an estimated street value of P36.04 million were confiscated from three suspected drug dealers in Bacoor City, Cavite on Monday night.

Personnel of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), Quezon City Police District and Calabarzon police conducted the operation in Barangay Molino III at around 10:45 p.m.

NCRPO chief Maj. Gen. Debold Sinas said Anabel Natividad, 52; Teresita Daan, 52, and Riza Aguito, 43, all ”high-value” targets, were arrested after a police officer who posed as a buyer bought a pack of shabu worth P245,000.

A Ford Raptor was also recovered from the suspects.

Another suspect Raffy Aguiton fled on a motorcycle.
