PDEA nabs Chinese national during buy-bust in Manila

Posted on October 9, 2013

By Christopher Lloyd T. Caliwan

MANILA, (PNA) — Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Chief, Director General Arturo Cacdac Jr. said on Wednesday that operatives of the agency arrested a 25-year-old Chinese national and confiscated from his possession millions worth of suspected shabu during drug sting in Manila.

Cacdac identified the arrested suspect as Shaofen Cai, a.k.a Chua Sho Feng/Ding Cai, who was arrested last Monday after he went into a drug transaction with a PDEA agent, and agreed to meet the law enforcer at Plaza L. Ruiz, in Binondo, Manila around 9 p.m.

Cacdac said that upon a pre-arranged signal, operatives of PDEA Regional Office National Capital Region immediately arrested the suspect after he accepted the buy-bust money contained in a paper bag, in exchange for one plastic bag of shabu.

The confiscated shabu weighed roughly 1,000 grams, with an estimated market value of P2,000,000, Cacdac said.

He added that apart from the boodle money, also confiscated from Cai’s possession were two LTO licenses with different names, one mobile phone, and one gold colored Toyota Innova with plate number ZTS 968.

Confiscated evidences were submitted to the PDEA Laboratory Service in Quezon City for forensic examination, while the arrested suspect is now under the custody of PDEA RO-NCR detention facility.

Cacdac said that the suspect will be charged for violation of Section 5 (Sale of Dangerous Drugs), Article II of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
