No illegal drugs were seized. Among those confiscated items were pencils, ballpens, nail cutters, mirror, lighter, and scissors.
Police regional director Chief Supt. Marcelo Morales lauded the operatives for their continuous conduct of anti-crime strategies and intervention to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs and other contrabands inside city Jail.
“I just would like to reiterate this warning to all detainees that contraband found in their possession would be used against them in court. It will surely affect the availment of plea bargains or they will rot in jail,” Morales said.
