Police Authorities Arrest 2 Students for Selling Illegal Drugs in Sta. Rosa, Laguna
Two students from Sta. Rosa, Laguna have been arrested during a buy-bust operation for allegedly selling illegal drugs.
The police authorities arrested two senior high school students at an apartment in Barangay Sinalhan, Sta. Rosa, Laguna for selling illegal drugs. The suspects have been arrested during a buy-bust operation.
Santa Rosa Police Station chief Police Lieutenant Col. Paul Sabulao said that the suspects were couple. The cops launched the buy-bust operation after receiving reports that the students were selling illegal drugs online.
The police force monitored the suspects for almost a week after receiving the reports from anonymous sources.
“Ang modus operandi ay through online selling at nilalagay nila ito sa water dispenser na maliit at nakalagay sa box. So kung isang kilo ang inorder, di mo mahahalata dahil nakalagay sa water dispenser . . . Ipa-courier lang nila,” Sabulao said.
The police officers immediately arrested the couple after the assets bought a pack of suspected illegal drugs. The authorities have also launched a preventive search and recovered 10 kilograms of illegal drugs worth P1.2 million.
According to Sabulao, it was the largest catch in the entire province. He is also suspecting the couple of selling the drugs to their fellow students. The authorities will conduct further investigation regarding the incident.
“Sabi ng mga kapitbahay doon, nagtataka din sila kasi bago din lang nangungupahan eh madalas may kabataan doon sa area,” Sabulao added.
The suspects will face charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
