‘Shabu peddler’ apprehended
in buy-bust operation in Silay

Another suspected shabu peddler was arrested yesterday in a buy-bust operation in Silay City, Negros Occidental, Supt. Rosauro Francisco said.

Francisco, who is the Silay police chief, said that, since last year, they have neutralized the activities of more than 70 drug pushers, who are now in jail, and have been charged for violation of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Drugs Act of 2002.

Francisco said that Jerald Flores, 19, was nabbed yesterday by a police team, led by Senior Police Officer 1 Rayjay Rebadomia, at his residence in Sitio Pulo, Employees Subdivision, Brgy. Mambulac, Silay City.

The arrest yielded three sachets of suspected shabu and its paraphernalia, a homemade .38 caliber revolver, and P300 in marked money.

Despite their accomplishments in the anti-illegal drug campaign, Francisco said they are not letting their guard down, and are also closely monitoring the possible entry of another big-time drug personality in Silay City.

The police is verifying claims that the recent killing of a businessman and his son in Silay City, may be related to the proliferation of drugs in the place.*GPB
