Policemen arrested on Tuesday five suspects in Negros Occidental, for illegal possession of illegal drugs and unlicensed firearms.
A buy bust operation at Purok Sambag in Barangay 6, Kabankalan City, led to the arrest of two drug suspects, alias Britz, 24, and alias Alfredo.
The apprehension of two drug suspects yielded about 16 grams of suspected shabu, valued at P108,000, and P500 in marked money.
Separate buy bust operations in E. B. Magalona and Hinigaran on June 3 led to the apprehension of alias Boss and alias Peter, and the confiscation of six grams of suspected shabu with a market value of P40,800.
The police also arrested alias Renante, a 55-year-old fish vendor, during a raid at his residence in Purok. 3, Barangay Poblacion, Cauayan, Negros Occidental.
The implementation of a search warrant conducted by the Cauayan police led to the seizure of a Colt caliber .45 pistol with a magazine containing five rounds of ammunition.
All the arrested suspects are now locked up in jail.*
