Narcs checking if seized drugs came from magnetic liftersAntinarcotic agents arrested on Thursday an alleged drug dealer and seized from him some P1 million worth of “shabu” (crystal meth). He was arrested as soon as he handed over the drugs to the agent and took the P1 million. Azurin said Kendatu, a resident of Sultan Kudarat town in Maguindanao, had been considered a high-value target. Azurin said PDEA agents were trying to determine if the drugs seized from Kendatu were part of the shipment that slipped past the Bureau of Customs inside magnetic lifters. His father was among scores of opposition leaders jailed by the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos during martial law.
