00:00Three people were arrested in a buy-bust operation in Marikina.
00:07They were given more than two million pesos worth of the so-called shabu.
00:13The suspects were not involved in the sale of drugs.
00:17EJ Gomez has the first news.
00:22The three suspects were not able to corner the police in the illegal drug sale in Marikina City.
00:29A police officer was found guilty of a buy-bust operation in Singkama Street, Barangay Tumana on Wednesday.
00:37Two men and a woman were arrested in their own home,
00:41who are residents of Barangay Tumana.
00:44One of them was previously jailed for illegal drugs, according to the police.
00:49We spent six months monitoring our suspects.
00:55Since the release of the other one, we have been monitoring him.
01:00We will see if he will return to selling illegal drugs or if he will fix his life.
01:11The suspects were given 20 sachets of the so-called shabu, which weighs more than 330 grams.
01:18It is worth more than two point two million pesos.
01:22This is the biggest illegal drug we have confiscated from them since 2024.
01:29It came from Quezon City and we are delivering it to them using motorcycle taxi.
01:37Suspects are being sold in Marikina, San Mateo and Antipolo.
01:41According to the police, the transaction of the suspects is online and sometimes they meet up with their customers.
01:47Alias Khalil, 28 years old, and Alias Amrex, 24 years old, denied the charges.
01:54It's not true ma'am. It's not us.
01:57We are living a new life.
01:58The truth is, I report to the barangay every day so that my name will not be removed from their watch list.
02:06They are really wrong. I didn't listen to them. I also smoked.
02:12The 21-year-old female suspect defended herself.
02:16I'm not really involved in those drugs.
02:19Of course it hurts ma'am because I left my children outside.
02:24Two of them are still young.
02:26I became calm, but they still held me, even though there's really nothing.
02:32In Marikina City Jail, the suspects are currently in prison.
02:36They will be faced with the complaint of violation of Republic Act 9165 or Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
02:45This is the latest news.
