ILOILO City – Two suspected members of Cebu-based slain drug lord Jeffrey “Jaguar” Diaz were arrested yesterday in Barangay Manoc-manoc, Boracay Island, Malay, Aklan.
Rogelio Jasper Dela Rosa was a 40-year-old resident of New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan while Reenan Enricoso, 34, was a native of Consolacion, Cebu City.
The suspects were caught in a buy-bust operation around 2:30 a.m. They sold a sachet of shabu worth P1,000 to an undercover policeman, said Senior Inspector Jess Baylon of the Boracay Tourist Assistance Center (BTAC).
The two were caretakers of Diaz’s house but were also into the illegal drug trade, said Baylon.
“They were shabu suppliers in Boracay but we don’t know yet where they got their supply,” he added.
Dela Rosa and Ericoso were placed under surveillance for two weeks prior to yesterday’s antidrug operation, Baylon told Panay News.
Two weeks ago, BTAC received information that a kilo of shabu was brought to the two suspects. They disposed it quickly, said Baylon.
The police official believed that after Diaz was killed on June 17, 2016, the two suspects took over the illegal drug trade in Boracay.
The police recovered from Dela Rosa a sachet of shabu, a .38 revolver, ammunitions and a cellular phone.
Enricoso yielded two sachets of shabu.
The suspects were detained at the lock-up cell of BTAC. They face charges for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002./PN
