At around 10 p.m. Thursday, November 6, operatives of the Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) led by Police LT. Robin Santos conducted a buy-bust operation on F. Valenzuela St., Arkong Bato where a ‘poseur buyer’ was able to transact P500 worth of illegal drugs to the suspects.
Moments after receiving the money, they were immediately grabbed by the operating team.
Confiscated from the suspects were 4 grams of shabu valued at P27,200 and other drug paraphernalia.
Sciano and Alvarez are now facing charges in violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
