BACOLOD CITY – Two persons were arrested after police operatives seized from them P380,800 worth of suspected shabu in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Mandalagan last Tuesday.
Operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) Special Operations Unit (SOU)-6 arrested “Tabong,” 26, and “Totoy,” 46, both residents of the village.
Police Colonel Jose Roy Torrechilla, PDEG-SOU-6 head, said the operation resulted in the confiscation of a significant amount of suspected shabu weighing 56 grams.
The operation was coordinated with Police Station 3, the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG)-Visayas Field Unit, and the Regional Intelligence Unit (RIU)-6.
The two suspects were turned over to the custody of Police Station 3. Drug charges are being prepared against both suspects.
