00:29The barangay police negotiated with a man who was the subject of a drug bybus operation
00:35in the barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City.
00:37Later on, the man first threw a gun at the man and brought it from the window of his house.
00:43He was followed by the man and he was arrested by the police.
00:48The video was taken after the shabu man asked for permission from the police who pretended to be a buyer.
00:55The operatives identified the 57-year-old man to the suspect.
01:00When we said that he threw a gun, he didn't give up because his house was locked.
01:06So when he threw a gun, we didn't ask him to break the door
01:12because according to our asset that provided the information, he had a gun.
01:19Aside from the gun loaded with bullets, the suspect also took 25 grams of shabu
01:24which is worth P170,000.
01:27According to the police, the suspect is operating in the barangay Commonwealth.
01:31We have been targeting him for a long time.
01:33We have been studying him for almost two months.
01:35It's hard for him to enter his house because his transaction is only within his window.
01:40Before he can give drugs, he will be texted first.
01:45According to the QCPD, the gun that was obtained from the suspect is not licensed.
01:50The suspect was taken to the crime lab for a ballistic examination.
01:54The suspect will be jailed three times after he was arrested because of a drug-related case.
02:00I don't sell drugs.

02:04It's for fun.
02:06It's for fun?
02:07I use it to treat my feet.
02:09Is the gun yours?
02:10Yes.
02:11Is it for shabu?
02:12It's for self-defense.
02:15Why do you have a gun?
02:16It's just at home.
02:18According to the police, the gun that was obtained from the suspect is not licensed but shabu based on a crime lab investigation.
