A CHASE between police and a drug operation target who tried to evade arrest led authorities to a drug den where 11 more people were caught in the middle of a drug sniffing session in Makati, the city police chief said on Saturday.
Senior Supt. Rogelio Simon said the city’s Station Drug Enforcement Unit was able to arrest six suspects who were the primary targets of the unit’s buy bust operation in Barangay Pio del Pilar last Friday night.
One of the targets fled and went inside a Barocan Compound in Barangay Pio del Pilar where he was followed by police. Upon subduing the target, police were also able to bust 11 people in the middle of a drug session.
Eighteen sachets of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu, drug paraphernalia and drug money were seized.
The suspects have been subjected to medical inquest and are under the custody of the SDEU for further investigation.
Simon said they would file charges against the suspects for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 before the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office.
