MANILA – The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has seized some PHP1.2 billion worth of illegal drugs and arrested almost 8,000 suspects from November 2020 to April this year.
NCRPO chief Maj. Gen. Vicente Danao on Friday said seized drugs include shabu weighing a total of 175 kilograms, 329 kilograms of marijuana and 884 tablets, and 300 ml of ecstasy.
Citing a report, Danao said 7,941 drug suspects were arrested in the 4,618 anti-illegal drugs operations in the NCR from November 11, 2020 until April 15 this year.
He said the NCRPO is consistent in its campaign to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs, particularly those distributed and sold despite health protocols due to the pandemic. (PNA)
