The week-long anti-drug campaign of the Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region (PRO-NIR) led to the confiscation of more than P6.8 million worth of illegal drugs.
In a report, the PRO-NIR said 30 drug personalities were arrested, yielding 1.12 kilos of suspected shabu from Dec. 29 last year to Jan. 4 this year.
On Jan. 5, a drug personality was arrested by operatives of the City Drug Enforcement Unit at Purok Magti-ayon, Barangay 10 in Bacolod City.
Alias “Jan” was found possessing about 115 grams of suspected shabu valued at P782,000.
