In a significant operation, police in Antipolo City, Rizal, arrested an alleged drug trafficker named 'Christopher' during a buy-bust operation on Wednesday night. The operation took place in Barangay Cupang, where Christopher allegedly sold P8,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) to an undercover officer. Following the transaction, authorities recovered six heat-sealed plastic sachets containing approximately 30 grams of shabu, valued at P204,000 according to the Dangerous Drugs Board's standards. Additionally, police found an unlicensed caliber .45 pistol loaded with seven bullets during a body search of the suspect. Christopher, identified as a street-level drug pusher, is now in police custody and will face charges under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and for illegal possession of a firearm. Reports indicate that some drug syndicates equip their dealers with firearms for protection and offer free drugs as incentives for personal use.
