JORDAN, Guimaras – Last month, 15 fugitives in Guimaras were arrested, according to the Guimaras Police Provincial Office (GPPO).
One of them was classified as “most wanted” – rape suspect Rodrigo Cantua of Sibunag town.
Cantua was collared in Barangay Jamog, Leon, Iloilo on Jan. 20 by joint police forces of Sibunag and Leon.
According to Police Colonel Pablito Asmod, Guimaras police director, police stations in five towns made the following number of arrests: Jordan, five; Buenavista, four; San Lorenzo, three; Sibunag, two; and Nueva Valencia, one.
Also last month, the police in Guimaras also carried out two anti-drug operations in Jordan and Buenavista.
Cops seized a total of 10 plastic sachets of shabu with a combined valued of P8,000.
Asmod said GPPO’s accomplishments against drug traffic were considerably small because drug traffic was not such a big problem in the island province.
No illegal drug traffickers were audacious enough to operate in this time of coronavirus disease pandemic, he explained./PN
