KALIBO, Aklan – Eight sachets of suspected shabu were recovered in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Tinigaw.
The 28-year-old “lugaw” vendor Jehdan Cortez yielded the suspected illegal drugs, police said.
Cortez was nabbed after he allegedly sold shabu to an undercover officer for P12,000 on June 1.
“Si Cortez ay nasa priority list ng Kalibo police. Ilan sa mga nahuli natin sa mga buy-bust operations, tinuturo itong si Cortez na nagsusuply ng droga sa kanila. Isa siya sa malalaking tao sa illegal drugs sa Kalibo,” said Major Frensy Andrade of Aklan Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit.
Cortez – resident of Mabilo, Kalibo, Aklan – has a pending case for illegal drug charges after authorities nabbed him last April 2016. He was temporarily released after posting a bail.
He was now detained in the lockup facility of the Kalibo police station, facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (With a report from Akean Forum/PN)
