A BUSINESSMAN was arrested after more than P200,000 shabu was allegedly seized from his possession following a buy-bust in Purok 5, San Nicolas, Barangay 8-A, Poblacion on Thursday, Feb. 1.
Captain Hazel Tuazon, spokesperson of the Davao City Police Office, identified the suspect only as alias Shan, 41, married, and a resident of Purok Narra, Poblacion Malalag, Davao Del Sur.
The DCPO, San Pedro Drug Enforcement Unit, under the direct supervision of station commander Major Marvin Hugos, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-Davao City, and Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit (RPDEU), under the direct supervision of Lt Col Hamlet Lerios, conducted the joint buy-bust operation.
