At least P27 million worth of shabu was seized while a drug suspect was killed in a buy-bust operation in Quezon City today, Sunday.
Police identified the fatality as Edgar Alfonso.
In a cnnphilippines.com report, police said Alfonso transacted with an undercover agent in Barangay San Roque.
Police said the suspect sensed that he was transacting with a policeman and opened fire.
The suspect hit the policeman and tried to escape.
Police gave chase and a shootout occurred.
The chase reached del Pilar Street where the suspect was eventually killed.
Police recovered a .45 caliber pistol and a bag containing at least four kilos of suspected shabu.
Police Major General Guillermo Eleazar, Metro Manila Police Chief, said the suspect was considered a “high-value” target based on the quantity of the seized illegal drugs.
