BACOLOD CITY – Anti-drug operatives of Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) seized more than PHP2 million in shabu and arrested four persons in two buy-busts in the past two nights here.
The operation along Vicente Yap St., Barangay Singcang-Airport on Monday night yielded 250 grams of shabu valued at PHP1.7 million, the police report said.
The City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU) arrested the subject “Jameson,” 25, a resident of Zone 5, Barangay Vista Alegre, after selling a sachet of shabu worth PHP1,000 to an undercover policeman, and his companion, alias “John,” 15, at 7:46 p.m.
In a radio interview, Lt. Richard Legada, CDEU assistant chief, said the subject was jailed for a similar offense from September 2022 to April 2023.
“He is on probation now,” he added.
Legada said the minor suspect will be referred to the Women and Children Protection Desk of Police Station 8.
Operatives also recovered a caliber .357 revolver with two live rounds of ammunition from the subject’s possession.
Around the same time Sunday night, the CDEU arrested alias “Niel,” a resident of Barangay 2, and alias “Charlie,” of Barangay Taloc, Bago City, at Purok Kagaykay, Barangay 2.
The two suspects yielded about 50 grams of shabu worth PHP340,000.
The subject, alias “Niel,” who was on the list of the Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Council, was arrested in 2019 for visiting a drug den and was released in 2020.
He was rearrested after two weeks and was released only in 2024, police records showed. (PNA)
