A couple was arrested with suspected illegal drugs worth around P2.7 million and a firearm during a raid in Davao City.

Armed with a search warrant, police raided the house of the suspects who were considered high value individuals in the illegal drug trade.

Seized from the suspects were six sachets of suspected shabu and a caliber .38 revolver.

The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) said the two were allegedly distributing and selling illegal drugs in the area.

“Kaning duha, nagadistribute, pagpamaligya diha sa ilang lugar. Atong iklaro nga walay tay laboratory diri sa Davao City, naa lang gyuy nagapasulod diri sa atong area of responsibility,” DCPO Spokesperson, Captain Hazel Tuazon, said.

The two are now detained and will face charges for alleged violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act (RA 9165), illegal possession of firearms, and election gun ban.
