Central Luzon police are intensifying their anti-illegal drug operations, the director of Police Regional Office (PRO-3) said, as two suspected drug peddlers were arrested and some P2.4 million worth of shabu was seized in separate anti-illegal drug operations in Pampanga on Monday.
Brig. Gen. Matthew Baccay said the operations would not stop until the region was drug-free.
“We are continuously conducting proactive operations against all forms of illegal drugs in the region and we will not stop until we achieve our quest of a drug-free Central Luzon,” he said in a statement.
On Tuesday the police arrested suspects as Julius Guillermo, 30; and Jean Dantes, 53.
Guillermo was nabbed in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Mawaque Maragul, Mabalacat City that led to the confiscation of six pieces of heat-sealed and two pieces of knot-tied transparent plastic sachets containing shabu weighing 305 grams with an estimated Dangerous Drug Board (DDB) value of P2.074 million, one cellular phone, one piece of genuine P1,000 bill, 19 pieces of boodle money, and a weighing scale.
Dantes was arrested in an entrapment operation in Barangay Dila-dila in Sta. Rita town.
Authorities confiscated three pieces of heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing shabu weighing 55 grams with an estimated DDB street value of P374,000, one cellular phone, a P1,000 bill, and a weighing scale.
