OLONGAPO CITY — The police on Saturday arrested an aviation security officer at the Clark International Airport (CRK) for selling drugs along with six other suspects.

Adrian Constantino, 23, a resident of Subic town in Zambales province and a CRK employee, was caught in a drug bust, according to PO2 Leonard Pasamonte, investigator at Police Station 6 here.

Undercover police officers executed two drug operations in Barangay Barretto that snared Constantino and six other suspects – Erwin Paragas, 33; Arlene Santos, 43; Jun Ochavo, 24; May Bausa, 20; Aprilyn Ignacio, 23; and Junmer Fortaleza, 19.

Pasamonte said the suspects were caught selling shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) to the police agents. They were put under surveillance after the policemen received reports they were involved in street level drug trafficking, he said.
