What should have been a simple traffic stop in relation to a vehicular accident ended up with two men being arrested for alleged possession of suspected shabu and a pistol in Las Piñas City over the weekend.
Jefferson Garin, 32 years old; and Raymund Mangubat, 39, were arrested after a car chase starting at the accident site along Zapote-Alabang Road in Barangay Pamplona Uno and ending at Neltex Real Street.
Garin and Mangubat yielded a 9mm Beretta pistol with five bullets, and six grams of crystal meth with a street value of P40,800, the police said yesterday.
The two were brought to the Station Investigation and Detection Management Section of the Las Piñas City police for investigation.
They were charged with violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act and the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
