Valenzuela City – In a strong show of police vigilance and operational precision, the Northern Police District (NPD) apprehended two male drug suspects—identified only by their aliases “Jonel”, 40-year-old male and “Raymart”, 30-year-old male—in an early morning buy-bust operation today, 4:51 AM on May 23, 2025, along Samagdaba Street, Barangay Bignay, Valenzuela City.
Acting on validated intelligence and supported by a PDEA, operatives of the District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU), led by PCPT Regie B Pobadora, OIC-DDEU, executed the buy-bust that resulted in the successful arrest of the suspects and confiscated from them were more or less 55 grams of suspected shabu, with a Standard Drug Price (SDP) of ₱374,000.00. The drug evidence was properly marked and documented at the site, bearing the initials, time stamps, and signatures of the arresting officers.
Alias “Jonel”, a construction worker residing in Valenzuela City and “Raymart”, a 30-year-old jobless man from the same, were both classified as High-Value Individuals (HVI). They are now facing charges for violations of Sections 5 (Sale) in relation to Section 26 (Conspiracy), and Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), under Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
