Police personnel seized ₱780,000-worth of suspected shabu in two separate buy-bust operations in Quezon City last Saturday night.

In a joint buy-bust operation by Galas and Talipapa Police Stations in Don Segundo St., San Agustin Village in Barangay Talipapa at about 9:40PM, operatives nabbed a high value target identified as Marvin Sigua, 45.
