LEGAZPI CITY — Anti-narcotics operatives seized on Wednesday night PHP360,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) from two suspected illegal drug personalities in separate operations in Barangay Sabang, this city, City Mayor Noel Rosal said on Thursday.
He identified the two as Marvin Sevillano alias Gaus of Purok 2 and Antonio Alejo alias Anton of Purok 3, both in Barangay Sabang, a coastal village of this city.
Armed with a search warrant, operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the city police conducted separate raids and collared the two suspects, who are considered as high value targets.

The suspects are now behind bars at the PDEA detention facility at police’s Camp Gen. Simeon Ola, this city.
