Anti-narcotics agents arrested five drug suspects in Bacoor City, Cavite, early on Wednesday morning.[1] The Calabarzon police, the regional police command for Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon, said the arrests came around 1:30 a.m. in Barangay Mambog 2, a barangay or village, the smallest unit of local government.[1] Joshua Conejos, Richard Victoria and Hershey Anne Reyes were named, while two others were identified only as “Adrian” and “Ian Kristopher.”[1] Police said the five were held after they sold a pack of shabu, crystal meth, to an undercover officer.[1]

Officers found two kilograms of marijuana that the authorities valued at P90,000.[1] They also found nine sachets of shabu weighing 25 grams and valued at P170,000, which the report treats separately from the marijuana.[1] Police put the total value of the two drugs at P260,000.[1]

The five were detained and faced charges under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, the Philippines’ main drug law.[1]
