Motel drug sting yields P150K worth of shabu

A police anti-narcotics operation on a motel in La Paz, Iloilo City led to the arrest of a suspected drug peddler early evening of Sept 12, 2020.

The suspect was identified as Louwie Pol Zamora, 31, of Barangay Monica, City Proper district.

Members of the Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit 6 (RPDEU-6), together with La Paz Police Station, conducted the buy-bust operation inside The Q Motel at Barangay Burgos Mabini, La Paz.

A police undercover agent transacted to buy P20,200 worth of illegal drugs from Zamora.

Zamora was subsequently arrested, and he yielded four sachets of suspected shabu valued at P150,000.

Zamora is now detained and will be charged for violation of Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2020).

This was not the first time that Zamora was collared for illegal drugs.

In early 2018, his name hogged the limelight after it was exposed that he was one of the prisoners who has an active social media account while in incarceration at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology-Iloilo City district jail.

But Zamora denied accusations that he was behind the active Facebook account. He, instead, claimed that it was his girlfriend who created the account for him.

The Facebook account named after Zamora posted comments on the Facebook status of another BJMP prisoner.

But the other prisoner also claimed that it was his live-in partner who managed the account.
