10 nabbed in anti-drug operations in Cavite, Rizal

SAN PEDRO CITY — The police arrested ten suspects in an illegal drug sweep in Cavite and Rizal provinces early on Sunday.

Reports from the regional police office showed that the arrests were made between 1 a.m. to 2:30 a.m.

In Dasmariñas City, Cavite, a suspect identified as Mike Bryan Tating was initially apprehended after the police received complaints that he was drunk and was creating some “trouble” in the village.

But during inspection, Tating removed the cap he was wearing and a sachet of suspected “shabu” (crystal meth) fell off, prompting the police to detain him.

In Imus City, Cavite, the police arrested Denis Nicole Mundo and five others after they were caught in a marijuana session in Alapan 2-A.

In Cavite City, village watchmen from Barangay 37 turned over to the police Mervin Acosta and Arnel Angulo, who were each caught in possession of a sachet of suspected shabu.

In Cainta, Rizal, the police conducted a buy-bust operation against one Esraelito Velasco in Barangay San Isidro.

The police reportedly recovered from him nine sachets of suspected shabu and the P500 marked money used during the transaction. /ee
