A joint operation between the PDEA Regional Special Enforcement Team (RSET-11) and the PNP Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) led to the dismantling of a drug den and the arrest of three high-value targets in Monte Maria Village, Catalunan Grande, Davao City on February 3, 2025.
The raid, which took place at approximately 10:05 PM, resulted in the capture of the primary suspect, alias Bryan, 32, who was found selling shabu worth ₱1,000.
Also arrested were alias Alain, an employee of the drug den, and alias Gevie, a visitor caught engaging in a shabu session.
