Approximately 50 grams of shabu worth P340,000.00 were seized from three drug traders in a sting operation in Cordon, Isabela last Saturday, perhaps the biggest haul of shabu in the Cagayan Valley region of late.
Jestoni Gutierrez, 30, truck driver, from Barangay Alibadbad, San Mariano, Isabela; Juanito Aggabao, 33, truck helper, from District 3, Cauayan City, Isabela; and Evelyn Dela Cruz, 47, sack vendor, from Santo Niño, Gapan, Nueva Ecija were booked after selling P15,000 worth of shabu to an undercover PDEA agent Saturday afternoon along the National Highway in Barangay Malapat, Cordon, Isabela.
When body-searched, another four pieces of heat sealed transparent plastic sachets containing the same drug were seized from the three by joint PDEA and police units in Cagayan Valley.
Aside from three mobile phones the trio used in the drug transaction, authorities also took three aluminum foils, two disposable lighters and other drug paraphernalia including the HOWO trailer truck with plate number NEP 1705 boarded by the suspects as evidences against them.
