3 arrested in Bohol drug buy-bust
DAUIS, Bohol– Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) arrested a masseur and his two friends for peddling illegal drugs during a buy-bust operation on Tuesday.
Jorge Cañete Davon, 50; Gilbert Iglesia, 30; and Hadji Caluway Cipadik Jamil, 61, were detained pending filing of charges.
At least 22 small sachets and one big sachet of shabu and other drug paraphernalia were seized from the suspects during a buy-bust operation held inside a house on Purok 4, Sitio Calvario, Barangay Mayacabac here.
None of the three owned the house which may have been rented by Davon who works as a masseur in Panglao Island.
Lawyer Rennan Augustus Oliva, head agent of NBI-Bohol, said the buy-bust stemmed from complaint of neighbors on the suspects’ illegal activity.
“Their neighbors went to the office to inform us about the rampant selling of illegal drugs. So we acted on it with the PDEA,” he said.
