Anti-narcotics agents of the Philippine National Police (PNP) arrested two people for allegedly selling disposable vapes loaded with marijuana oil during a buy-bust operation in Pasay City on Wednesday night, April 30.

Police Col. Darwin Miranda, director of the PNP-Drug Enforcement Unit-Special Operations Unit of the National Capital Region, said the operation stemmed from confirmed intelligence reports about the illegal activities of the two suspects.

After surveillance, PDEG men were able to negotiate for the purchase of disposable vape at the Barangay 2, Pasay City portion of Roxas Boulevard around 8 p.m.

The arrest was announced after the suspects accepted the money from the poseur buyer.

Miranda said his men seized P138,000 worth of marijuana vapes with marijuana oil.

The arrested suspects are now under PDEG custody and facing drug charges while the confiscated items were taken to the Southern Police District Forensic Unit for examination.
