CAMP ALEJO SANTOS, Bulacan – An estimated PHP1.8 million worth of dried marijuana leaves were seized while eight suspects were nabbed in Barangay Gumaoc East, City of San Jose del Monte, this province on Thursday night.
Lt. Col. Jacquiline Puapo, officer-in-charge of the Bulacan Police Provincial Office, said in a belated report Friday that the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency joined the sting operation, where they confiscated approximately 15 kilograms of dried marijuana leaves and marked money.
Puapo said one of the arrested suspects sold one plastic pack containing dried marijuana to a poseur buyer.
The other suspects yielded more bricks of dried marijuana.
The evidence are with the Bulacan Provincial Forensic Unit for examination.
