A woman on the Victorias City Police Station drugs watchlist was arrested Wednesday afternoon following a buy-bust operation in the city’s Barangay 19-A.

Police identified the suspect as 40-year-old Joy Combate, a resident of the said area.

Victorias City police chief, Police Chief Inspector Eduardo Corpuz, said Combate was nabbed by the city’s Station Drug Enforcement Unit after she sold one small sachet of suspected shabu in exchange for P400.

A search of the suspect further yielded three elongated sachets of suspected shabu, suspected drug money amounting to P800, drug paraphernalia, and a mobile phone.

Combate faces illegal drugs charges and is detained at the Victorias City Police Station./DGB, WDJ
