Police arrested two Taiwanese men and a Chinese on Sunday in a sting operation that netted illegal drugs worth over $2million, officials said.
The three were caught selling more than two kilos of the banned stimulant crystal
methamphetamine hydrochloride, more commonly known as “ice” or shabu, to an undercover agent, police said.
Agents also found drugs in the suspects’ vehicle.
“We believe they are selling two kinds of shabu, one priced lower and one with a higher price imported from another country,” task force head Superintendent Ismael Fajardo said on national radio.
He said the bogus transaction took place at a car park of a hospital and agents pounced on the trio after marked money changed hands.
The country has been stepping up its fight against drug traffickers after concerns that its vast shoreline made it a favorite shipment point for illegal drugs.
