BACOLOD City – Over the past four days 10 people have been arrested in various antidrug operations in this city, police reported on Tuesday.
The operations led to the seizure of about P310,000 worth of suspected shabu, according to the Bacolod City Police Office.
At around 11 p.m. Monday operatives of the BCPO’s City Drug Enforcement Unit arrested five suspects in a buy-bust operation in Purok Kagaykay, Barangay 2.
Police identified the suspects as Rona “Ken-Ken” Saldua, 28; Liezl Largo, 28; Rodalyn Maraviles, 23; Mark Cesar Galo, 35; and a female minor. Authorities considered them “street-level targets.”
The suspects yielded P240,000 worth of suspected shabu along with the P1,000 marked money, a coin purse and a metal box.
Police were preparing charges against them for violation of sections 5 (sale of dangerous drugs), 11 (possession of dangerous drugs) and 26 (attempt or conspiracy) of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Five suspects have been arrested, too, in three separate operations from Nov. 16 to 18.
Christopher Siocon was a “street-level target” while Rikki Dioteles, Jocelyn Reyes, Willy Crispe, and Dranreb Misajon were “newly identified drug personalities,” police said.
They yielded a total of 4.66 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated value of P69,900.
All the latter five suspects have been charged with various violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 before the City Prosecutors’ Office. (PNA)
