Police Station 3 (PS3) anti-drug operatives confiscated over P500,000 worth of suspected shabu during an early Friday morning buy-bust operation at Purok Rosas Pandan in Sitio Sibucao, Barangay Banago, Bacolod City.

Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Christian Villar Poja, a resident of the said area.

PS3 commander, Police Senior Inspector Victor Paulino, said the suspect is a newly-identified drug personality in the area and the third cousin of slain drug lord Ramy Poja.

Paulino noted, he is not sure if the suspect replaced his relative in local illegal drug trade.

The suspect faces drug-related charges and is detained at PS3./DGB, WDJ
