Three kilograms of high-grade methamphetamine hydrochloride, or shabu, which had been concealed in the cemented base of a large umbrella was discovered by police agents in Imus, Cavite City on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Authorities said that the umbrella base containing the illegal drug, with a street value of P15-million, was hidden in one of two cars left by the suspects along National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Road in Barangay Bucandala, Imus.<\/p>\n

The suspects were tagged by Supt. Romano V. Cardi\u00f1o, Police Provincial Office (PPO) Intelligence Branch (S-2) chief as Heng, Jeng and Boy Tattoo. All three managed to get away while being chased by operatives from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), PNP-Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force, PPO-S-2 and Imus police.<\/p>\n

Police pursued the suspects after the three had finished an illegal drug transaction with some buyers.<\/p>\n

According to Cardi\u00f1o, the suspects are part of a big drug ring which supplies shabu to Cavite.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsang grupo sila na nagbabagsak ng shabu sa Cavite (They are [part of] one group which drops shabu in Cavite),\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Two vehicles were abandoned by the suspects; an Isuzu Crosswind, in which the umbrella base was found, and a Honda.<\/p>\n

A drug-sniffing dog from the K-9 Unit was employed to pinpoint where the contraband was hidden.<\/p>\n

\u201cNaamoy ng K-9, nakita yung droga nang binasag yung semento ng umbrella base,\u201d (The K-9 smelled [the drugs], the drugs were found upon breaking open the cement umbrella base.) Cardi\u00f1o told a reporter on the scene in Imus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
