Authorities seized nearly P7 million worth of suspected shabu and arrested two suspects in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Camanjac early yesterday morning.

Lt. Stephen Polinar, spokesperson of the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office, identified the suspects as “Gege,” 37 years old, and “Jeb-jeb,” 22 years old, both residents of Sitio Tuwang in Pamplona town.

They were caught selling suspected shabu to an undercover operative at Purok Makiangahon.

Police recovered around 1,000 grams of suspected shabu, valued at P6.8 million.

Both suspects are tagged as high-value individuals on the police’s drug watchlist.

This marks the third major drug bust in the province this week.

Authorities are now investigating the possible presence of a drug syndicate operating in Negros Oriental following the spike in large-scale seizures. (PNA)
