PDEA shuts down Lubao drug den, seizes over P100K shabu

LUBAO, Pampanga — Agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Region 3 (PDEA-3) Pampanga Provincial Office dismantled a makeshift drug den that also led to the arrest of three drug suspects and confiscation of some P102,000.00 worth of shabu following a buy-bust operation in Barangay San Antonio on Sunday afternoon (July 6).

The PDEA team leader identified the arrested suspects as alias “Dante,” male, 41 years old; alias “Ton-Ton,” male, 31; and alias “Jepoy,” male, 38.

Apprehended suspects yielded four pieces of plastic transparent sachets containing roughly 15 grams of suspected shabu worth P102,000.00, assorted drug paraphernalia, and the buy-bust money used during the sting operation.

According to PDEA, arrested suspects had been under surveillance since May 2025.

Pampanga PPO Drug Enforcement Unit (PDEU) also participated in the said operation.

Charges for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 are pending against the suspects. (UnliNews Online)
