QC cop nabbed for shabu

MANILA, Philippines - A Quezon City policeman, allegedly a drug pusher, was arrested when Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives raided his home Thursday night.

Agents seized from the home of Police Officer 3 Nestor del Rosario, 53, 11 pieces of what they suspect to be shabu, several strips of aluminum foil, a 9mm pistol, a magazine and 13 bullets, PDEA chief Arturo Cacdac Jr. said.

Del Rosario was a “known drug pusher” in his neighborhood on Samonte street in Barangay Holy Spirit, Cacdac said.

He said PDEA agents implemented a warrant issued by Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 78 Judge Fernando Sagun Jr. to search Del Rosario’s residence. The drug evidence was later submitted to the agency’s laboratory service for examination.
