PDEA agents and police officers arrested the suspects in a crackdown that started at 11:45 am on Wednesday.
The narcotics agents were armed with search warrants that covered four suspected drug dens.
PDEA regional director Wilkins Villanueva said law enforcers confiscated bundles of marijuana and suspected shabu valued at some P1.175 million.
