3 MEN FALL IN LAPU DRUG BUST
THREE men were arrested in a buy-bust operation in barangay Babag, Lapu-Lapu City last Monday afternoon.
Police identified the suspects as Victor Jumao-as, 42; Russell Amoin, 36; and Prudencio Jumao-as, 69.
Operatives of the Intelligence Division of the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office (LLCPO) led by PInsp. Adrian Enriquez conducted the operation after weeks of surveillance.
Police said Victor was the target of the operation.
Police said Prudencio was the one who brought the poseur-buyers to the place where Victor and Amoin were waiting.
Police said Victor accepted the P200 marked money then instructed Amoin to hand over a pack of suspected shabu to the policemen in civilian clothes who acted as poseur-buyers.
After the transaction, police moved and arrested the three men.
Police said seized from Victor’s possession were 13 packs of suspected shabu, the marked money and drug-sniffing paraphernalia.
Amoin allegedly yielded two packs of suspected shabu.
Charges will be filed today against the three, who are detained at the LLCPO headquarters./CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA
