Police operatives seized about P740,000 worth of suspected shabu from six drug suspects who were arrested early Wednesday morning at Purok Malvar Cubay in Barangay Villamonte, Bacolod City.
The apprehension of six drug suspects identified by the police through their aliases, Friechbon, Richard, Roy, Peter, Joel, and Benmar, yielded about 110 grams of suspected shabu, according to a report of the Bacolod City Police Office.
PCapt. Genus David, assistant chief of the BCPO City Drug Enforcement Unit, led the anti-drug operations under the supervision of PLt. Col. Antonio Benitez Jr.
Eight more drug suspects were also arrested by the police in separate buy bust operations on November 25 in cities of Kabankalan and Himamaylan, as well as Hinigaran, Negros Occidental.
The police operations led to the confiscation of about 11 grams of suspected shabu with a market value of P74,800.
A joint operation of the police and Army soldiers led to the arrest of a 40-year-old baker in Brgy. Mansablay, Isabela, which yielded a caliber .38 revolver and P1,000 marked money.
All the arrested suspects are now locked up in jail.*
