Three drug suspects were arrested by the police in separate buy bust operations on Thursday in the cities of Bago and Cadiz, Negros Occidental.
Nabbed during a buy bust operation at Purok Dhalia in Barangay Abuanan, Bago City, were alias Olin, 31, and alias Che-Che, 25, both residents of Purok Maria Elena, Barangay Dulao in Bago City.
Their arrests yielded about two grams of suspected shabu with a market value of P13,600, assorted illegal drugs paraphernalia, P500 in marked money, and P100 in cash.
Another buy bust operation at Hacienda Golez in Barangay Bonifacio, Cadiz City, led to the arrest of alias Maritess, 56, and the recovery of an estimated 2.5 grams of suspected shabu valued at P17,000, and marked money of P500.
The three arrested drug suspects are now facing charges for violation of RA 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002.*
