ROXAS City – Joint elements of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 6 and Capiz police’s Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit arrested a man in a drug buy-bust operation in Sitio Candelaria, Barangay Baybay.

Police identified the man as the 38-year-old Omar Villanueva.

Villanueva was caught after he sold shabu to an undercover officer for P1,000 on Tuesday.

PDEA agents also confiscated from Villanueva a cellular phone.

According to Villanueva, the 29-year-old Leo Belonio, Fatima Laudiño, 21 and a 17-year-old minor delivered him illegal drugs.

Belonio, Laudiño and the minor – who were in Villanueva’s house when the buy-bust was conducted – denied the allegation.

According to them, they were just collecting money that Villanueva owes them that’s why they were there.

PDEA agents released the Belonio, Laudiño and the minor after a series of questioning.

Villanueva, on the other hand, was detained and facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002./PN
