Three drug traders caught in Baguio sting

BAGUIO CITY(December 5, 2024) -- Three alleged drug traders, whose names were still withheld, were caught in a sting hatched by PDEA-Cordillera agents aided by policemen in barangay Pinsao Pilot here Wednesday evening.

An undercover agent bought two-heat sealed plastic sachets containing 5 grams of shabu from one of the trio, signalling operatives to close in and catch the drug traders, said PDEA-Cordillera regional director Derrick Carreon.

Two additional sachets of shabu weighing .2 grams were seized when the two other drug dealers were frisked, added Carreon.

The seized drugs from the trio, who will be facing illegal drugs charges, specifically sale of illicit substances, were valued at P11,360.00.
