MANILA, Philippines — Shabu with an estimated street value of P1.64 million was seized in Iloilo City on Thursday.

The illegal drugs, weighing 242 grams, were recovered from five people arrested in separate anti-narcotics operations, Western Visayas police director Brig. Gen. Jack Wanky said.

Four of the suspects, identified only by their aliases of Leo, Kurt, Ryan and Aikriz, were apprehended in a sting in Barangay Sto. Rosario. They reportedly yielded 180 grams of shabu valued at P1.22 million.

Another anti-drug operation led to the recovery of 62 grams of shabu worth P421,600 in Barangay Nabitasan.

Wanky said an alias Leo, who was found in possession of the illegal drugs, was arrested.
