A follow-up operation of the police Sunday night in Brgy. 2, Silay City, Negros Occidental, led to the confiscation of more than a kilo of suspected shabu, with a market value of P7.5 million from a drug courier, city police chief, Lt. Col. Mark Anthony Darroca, said.
Darroca said that the arrest of Mark Villaran, alias Maco, was a result of information they got from the two women, Angie and Angielyn Dumdumaya, who were apprehended earlier in Brgy. Lantad, Silay City.
The arrest of the Dumdumaya sisters yielded more than two kilos of suspected shabu, with a market value of P13.6 million.
In the span of one day, operatives of the Regional Drug Enforcement Unit 6 and the Silay police seized from the three drug suspects more than P21 million worth of illegal drugs.
Initial police investigations also showed that the illegal drugs, escorted by couriers, are being transported through cargo trucks from Manila and neighboring provinces to Negros Occidental, via the Roll on, Roll off vessels from a port in Batangas to the Mindoro-Caticlan-Dumangas in Iloilo.
Darroca said that the Dumdumaya sisters served as the “bodegeras” of the illegal drugs, stocked for distribution, while Villaran acted as courier.
Based on information they received, he said the instruction for distribution of the suspected illegal drugs came from high profile detainees and carried out by their accomplices outside of the jail facilities.
While the two arrested siblings have no criminal records, Darroca said they are disposing large volume of shabu./GB
