LAW ENFORCERS seized some ₱1.56 million worth of suspected shabu during a search warrant operation that led to the arrest of a regional high-value target in Sitio Catacdang, Barangay Bonuan Gueset, Dagupan City, early morning of September 29, 2025.

During the raid, operatives confiscated approximately 230 grams of suspected shabu and non-drug items, including an unused aluminum foil, unused transparent sachets, and a black flashlight used to conceal the illegal drugs.

Authorities described the suspect as a 51-year-old fishpond caretaker and resident of Dagupan City, but withheld his name pending further investigation.

Police Regional Office 1 Director PBGen Dindo Reyes lauded the operating units for their significant accomplishment.

“The ₱1.5 million worth of shabu seized today represents countless lives, families, and futures saved from the devastating impact of drug addiction. Our success stems from a proactive, intelligence-driven approach. We are not just waiting for crimes to happen; we are actively preventing them by targeting the source,” Reyes said.

The arrested individual is facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (Eva Visperas)
