Police arrested an alleged drug supplier and two of his buyers during a buy-bust operation that yielded P353,600 worth of suspected shabu in Purok Proper, Barangay Malubon, Sagay City, Negros Occidental, Nov. 5.
Operatives of the Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit of the Negros Occidental Police Provincial Office, supported by the Sagay City Component Police Station and joint regional units, apprehended the main target, alias “Kim”, 29, of Barangay Magsaysay in Cadiz City.
He has been the subject of several attempted sting operations in the past, following intel reports of his drug distribution to several personalities across Cadiz City and neighboring areas.
Also arrested were alias “John”, 21, and alias “Jon”, 30, both of Cadiz City, who were reportedly purchasing shabu from “Kim” inside a private residence when the operation was launched.
Police seized approximately 52 grams of suspected shabu during the operation. The three suspects are currently detained at the Sagay City Police Station and facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region drector, P/Brig. Gen. Rudecindo Reales, said the PRO-NIR will sustain its operations against illegal drug activities across the region. | TMD
