MANDAUE CITY, Philippines –Two 14-year-old girls were rescued by policemen after they raided a house in Perez Compound, Barangay Alang-Alang, Mandaue City during a buy-bust operation.
Police Major Ramil Morpos, Centro Police Station chief, said they confiscated 20 packets of suspected shabu during the operation and arrested two men, one of whom was a sibling of one of the minors.
