MANILA – Philippine authorities arrested a Chinese national and a Filipino marine officer in a raid Thursday on a hideout in Manila where illegal drugs are being kept.
Police identified the foreigner as Yan Yi
Shou, alias Randy, and Lieutenant Colonel Ferdinand Marcelino. Some P320
million worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride or locally known as shabu or ice
were also seized from the hideout in Santa Cruz, it said.
The raiders – all agents of the Anti-Illegal
Detection Group of the Philippine National police and Philippine Drug Enforcement
Agency – were armed with warrants when they swooped down on the hideout and
arrested the duo.
“The operation was conducted by virtue of
search warrant issued by the Quezon City Regional Trial Court which said that
the house serves as a storage facility of illegal drugs,” police said in a
statement.
It said some 64 kilos of shabu were
confiscated from the house that served as storage for the illegal drugs. Assorted
chemicals and laboratory equipment believed used in the manufacture of the drugs
were also seized by the raiders, including a car.
Police said the two men – who previously
worked with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency – are facing criminal
charges. They are currently being interrogated by the police. (Mindanao
