PRO7 NETS PhP10.5-MILLION OF DRUGS IN RELENTLESS OPERATIONS IN BOHOL PROVINCE
The relentless and focused intelligence police operations in the campaign against illegal drugs in Central Visayas led Police Regional Office 7 to recover an estimated 1.5 kilograms of shabu worth PhP10.5 million in the province of Bohol early this morning, February 1, 2024.
Citing the report from Dauis Municipal Police Station of Bohol Police Provincial Office (BPPO), PBGEn Anthony Aberin, PRO7 Regional Director, said a 23-year-old high-profile drug suspect was arrested during a buy-bust operation launched at 2:16 AM of February 1, 2024, at Purok 6, Brgy. Dao, in Dauis, Bohol, by the station’s Municipal Drug Enforcement Team.
Seized from the suspect were more than 1.5 kilograms of shabu with a standard drug price of PhP10,540,000.00, buy-bust money, a sling bag, one unit motorcycle without plate number and other drug paraphernalia.
PBGen Aberin lauded the efforts of Dauis Municipal Police Station, which has made a substantial contribution to Police Regional Office 7’s campaign against illegal drugs.
“On my watch, my instruction to the ground commanders is very clear - to cut off the supply and pursue after those groups behind the proliferation of illegal drugs in Central Visayas. We will double our efforts in adherence to the BIDA Program and 5-Focused Agenda of the PNP to ensure that our communities are safe and secure,” he articulated.
The suspect is in police custody and will face charges in violation of Republic Act 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (PRO7-PIO)
