Man caught with ‘shabu’ in Toledo

A 33-year-old man landed in jail after police caught him allegedly in possession of packs of shabu in barangay Cabitoonan, in Toledo City.

Drug charges are set to be filed today against Levi Tiongco, a resident of A. Lopez Street in Cebu City.

Tiongco was with two other men when policemen who were on patrol encountered them Saturday afternoon.

Police were surprised when Tiongco’s companions fled after noticing their presence.

Police approached Tiongco and frisked him.

Three big packs containing white crystalline substance believed to be shabu were found in the man’s pockets after the search.

Police said Tiongco was in the Cebu City Police Office’s watchlist of persons suspected to be involved in illegal drug trade./CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA
