Police arrested a 44-year-old woman in Aguilar, Pangasinan, and a mother-daughter duo in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija, during separate buy-bust operations.

In Aguilar, Pangasinan, authorities detained a woman after she sold suspected shabu worth P1,000 to an undercover officer.

The police recovered three sachets of suspected shabu valued at around P2,000.

“Originally taga-Manila siya, mayroon lang siyang ka-live-in na nahuli din namin sa parehong kaso,” Aguilar Police Chief PMAJ. Mark Ryan Taminaya said.

The suspect denied the accusations, claiming the evidence was planted.

“Yung asawa ko, nakuha na nila pero wala silang nakuhang ebidensiya sa akin. ‘Yung ebidensiya sa akin, nanggaling na sa kanila, hindi po galing sa akin ‘yun,” she said.
