Police recover 25 grams or more than P50,000 worth of illegal drugs called ‘shabu’ from the target alias “Ogag” and his companion. Paday-os said the suspects first shot at the undercover police officer who was riding in the car.
Based on the report, the drug suspects seemed to notice the operatives with comrades. So they doubted and shot at personnel. As a result, the security back-up comrades allegedly fired back until the two suspects were killed.
Police were not injured, but a bullet struck the car’s window and dashboard. According to Paday-os, the suspect has been targeted for three days but only on Friday did the meeting continue on the dark side of the building.
The money and 2 firearms were recovered from the suspect’s bodies — one .45 caliber and .38 caliber. Some IDs and licenses were also obtained including the ID of the food app courier from the rider, but police are still confirming whether the victims were identified.
