BACOLOD CITY – The City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU) recovered PHP1.46 million worth of suspected shabu in two buy-bust operations conducted here on May 7 and 8.
CDEU operatives arrested a 27-year-old man known as “Ati” of Barangay Bata after confiscating 145 grams of suspected shabu valued at PHP986,000 in Barangay Singcang-Airport early Thursday.
A day earlier, police also arrested a 54-year-old man known as “Hapon” of Barangay Alijis following the seizure of 70 grams of suspected shabu worth PHP476,000 in the same village.
Police Lt. Richard Legada, assistant CDEU chief, said Hapon had been reported to be engaged in illegal drug activities, prompting authorities to launch a buy-bust operation.
Legada added that an investigation is underway to trace the source of the illegal drugs.
Both suspects have been identified by police as high-value individuals.
From April 28 to May 4, the Bacolod City Police Office confiscated 396.1 grams of suspected shabu worth PHP2.6 million, conducted 12 anti-drug operations, and arrested 15 individuals.
Police reiterated their commitment to combat illegal drugs and maintain peace and order in the city.
