A successful anti-illegal drug operation on Thursday, in Barangay 31, Bacolod City, led to the confiscation of P4.6 million worth of suspected shabu.
The arrest of alias Sal, 24, yielded about 675 grams of suspected shabu, with a market value of P4,590,000.
Two days earlier, the police also recovered 800 grams of suspected shabu, worth P5.4 million, from three arrested dug suspects in Victorias City, Negros Occidental.
Brig. Gen. Jack Wanky, regional police director of Western Visayas, lauded the concerned police units involved in the successful anti-drug operations.
“Let’s maintain the intensity of our campaign against these illegal drug peddlers and conduct in-depth investigations to determine if the suspects have cohorts in their illegal drug activities,” Wanky added.
Two other drug suspects, both laborers, were also arrested by the police in separate buy bust operations in Toboso and La Carlota City, which yielded nine sachets of suspected shabu and P500 in marked money.*
