More than P1 million worth of suspected marijuana was seized from four suspects in a drug buy-bust operation in Rodriguez, Rizal early Saturday morning.
Nabbed in the operation were Anjo Anselmo, alias Boss; Jomari Pascual, alias Jomar; Errol Fritz Santiago, alias Fritz; and Lorenzo Catalon, alias Jeff.
The suspects were collared in an operation by joint operatives of the Rizal Provincial Intelligence Unit and Rodriguez Municipal Police Station in Barangay San Isidro, Rodriguez at about 12:40 a.m.
The operation stemmed from an informant’s tip that a certain alias Boss and his cohorts were behind the rampant selling of illegal drugs in the said area.
Alias Boss was already the target of an operation of the Rodriguez Police Provincial Intelligence Unit prior to the receipt of the tip.
Confiscated from the suspects were 12 large bricks and two sachets of suspected marijuana, the P6,000 buy-bust money, and a digital weighing scale.
The seized marijuana has an estimated street value of P1,228,000.
The suspects will be charged with violating Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
