BACOLOD CITY – Operatives of the City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU) confiscated 112 grams of suspected shabu worth PHP 761,600 during a buy-bust operation at Purok Kagaykay, Barangay 2, on Monday.
The suspect, identified as “Boy,” 49, of Barangay Sum-ag, was arrested and classified as a high-value individual.
