According to police reports, the sting took place inside Room 307 on the third floor of the property manager’s boarding house, located at Purok 4A, Pangandaman Street in Barangay 23-C.
The operation was executed by the City Drug Enforcement Unit and Special Operations Group, led by PMAJ Bernie B. Suaga.
The bust was a coordinated effort involving the Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit XI (RPDEU XI), 1st and 2nd City Mobile Force Companies, Sta. Ana Police Station and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency XI.
