ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines  – Shabu with an estimated street value of P455.6 million was seized in an anti-narcotics operation that also resulted in the arrest of four drug suspects in this city on Wednesday afternoon.

The suspects – Abu-darda Abdulhaih, Sabirin Alisan, Jul-Asbi Asakil and Shermahal Halisan – reportedly sold two kilos of shabu to a police undercover agent along Arcillas street in Barangay Mercedes.

The illegal substance was packed in two heat-sealed plastic bags, each containing about 200 kilos, police said.

Sixty-five more kilos of suspected shabu were reportedly recovered from the suspects by a joint team of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-National Capital Region, PDEA-Zamboanga and Cebu offices as well as the city police.
