An estimated P180,000 worth of suspected shabu was seized last Tuesday night following a buy-bust operation in Bacolod City’s Barangay Estefania.
Police identified the arrested suspect as 31-year-old Vivencio Joseph Benignos, a resident of the said area.
Police Station 2 (PS2) commander, Police Major Sherlock Gabana, said they made the arrest after the suspect sold one sachet of suspected shabu in exchange for P1,000.
A search of the suspect yielded a total of five sachets of suspected shabu, drug paraphernalia, a mobile phone, and the suspect’s vehicle.
Gabana added, Benignos was also a supplier of illegal drugs to neighboring localities.
The suspect is currently detained at PS2 on drug-related charges./DGB, WDJ
