The PNP seized more than P43 million worth of marijuana and cannabis products in a buy-bust in Taytay, Rizal early Wednesday morning. A 31-year-old man, a known distributor of high-grade marijuana, was arrested.
The operation yielded approximately 25 kilos of high-grade kush, 23 kilos of dried marijuana leaves, 1,600 cartridges of suspected liquid marijuana, and 200 pieces of suspected marijuana-infused vape juice. The total value of the confiscated items is estimated at ₱43,860,000.
According to Acting PNP Chief Police Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr., “This is a warning to all those involved in the illegal drug trade—no one is safe and cannot escape the law. The PNP is acting swiftly to protect the country and its youth.”
Also among the confiscated items were marked money, weighing scales, and a fake ID. The suspect is currently detained at the Taytay Municipal Police Station Custodial Facility.
The PNP continues to intensify its campaign against illegal drugs to ensure the safety of the community and youth.
