THE Philippine National Police Drug Enforcement Group (PNP-DEG) led a buy-bust operation in Caloocan City on Tuesday afternoon and resulted in the arrest of a female ‘high-value target’ in Metro Manila and the confiscation of two kilograms of shabu worth P13.6 million which she sold to an undercover officer, PNP-DEG Director Brig. General Remus B. Medina said yesterday.
In a report to PNP Chief Gen. Dionardo B. Carlos, the official said that the Caloocan City sting brought to nearly P114 million the value of prohibited drugs they have confiscated since the year started from at least 51 suspects.
Brig. Gen. Medina said that suspect Janesa Cabardo Canoy alias ‘Jane,’ a 25-year-old resident of no. 295 Sandico Street in Tondo, Manila was arrested during the entrapment operation along Langit Road corner Crusher St. in Phase 9, Package 7C, Bagong Silang, Caloocan City 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Members of the PNP-DEG were assisted by operatives from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Caloocan City Police Sub-Station 12 in conducting the operation.
Confiscated from the possession of the suspect were around two kilos of the so-called ‘poor man’s cocaine’ valued at P13.6 million, the boodle money topped by two marked P1,000 bills and a cellphone she used in making the illegal drug transaction with an agent.
