P3.2 MILLION WORTH OF SHABU SEIZED IN PAMPANGA

Authorities seized some PHP3.2 million worth of shabu from two arrested drug suspects in San Simon town, Pampanga.

Col. Andres Simbajon Jr., acting director of the Pampanga Police Provincial Office (PPO), identified the suspects as Kadim Dimatingkal, 23; and Abdulhamid Khalid, 25, both of Barangay Langka, Meycauayan City, Bulacan.

In a statement, he said the two were arrested during a drug buy-bust by elements of Pampanga Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit, Pampanga and Bulacan Provincial Intelligence Units, and San Simon Municipal Police Station.

Confiscated from the suspects were five pieces medium-sized, knot-tied, and two pieces heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets, all containing suspected shabu, buy-bust money, and other pieces of evidence.

The suspects will be charged with violation of Section 5 and Section 11, Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, before a court.

“This operation is part of the intensified operations of Pampanga PPO, as the illegal drugs (have) no place in this province,” Simbajon said.
