This joint effort led to the successful apprehension of three individuals, all residents of Parañaque City.
The report further stated that aside from the confiscated 7.2 kilograms of suspected shabu, with a Standard Drug Price value of PHP 48.96 million, the following pieces of evidence were also seized from the suspects:
• Drug paraphernalia such as weighing scales, plastic sachets, lighters, and others
