BACOLOD City — Three bus passengers caught carrying marijuana in separate checkpoints revealed that they got their supply from Hinigaran town.
Albert Espago Gregorio, 20, of Barangay Sum-ag here was arrested at a checkpoint at around 12 noon on Sunday in Valladolid.
He was carrying three bricks of dried marijuana while onboard a bus.
Gregorio told the police he was getting his stocks of the illegal substance from Hinigaran.
Two other drug suspects were collared at a checkpoint in San Enrique last week.
Onboard a bus from Hinigaran, Ranie Hetador of Barangay Poblacion 1, Bago City was caught carrying 31 grams of marijuana.
On the other hand, San Enrique police recovered 58 grams of dried marijuana from Wendel Baladra Aquin, 31, of Barangay Zone 2, Cadiz City.
Reached for comment, Hinigaran police chief Inspector Lino Dalisay said he cannot pinpoint an area in the town where marijuana could be possibly sourced.
Dalisay, however, assured that they will find the alleged marijuana source.
All three suspects were facing charges for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002./PN
