Suspected drug pusher nabbed in Danao City

CEBU, Philippines - A suspected drug pusher in Barangay Tabok Kamaligbato, Danao City was arrested in a raid conducted by the operatives of the Danao City Police yesterday morning.

Police operatives seized 10 packs of suspected shabu worth P10,000 from the house of Roso Almacin, 33. The police also confiscated two magazines for Caliber .45 pistol with two live ammunitions and drug sniffing paraphernalia.

The early morning raid led by Chief Inspector Eddie Recamara was based on the search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Judge Marilyn Yap in Mandaue City against Almacin for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.

Almacin had been placed under surveillance since last year because of several reports that he was into illegal drug business. According to the police, they conducted a test buy last week before applying for the search warrant against the suspect.

Almacin, who is allegedly on the list of drug personalities in Danao City, gets his drug supply from Cebu City.

Charges for violation of section 11 of the RA 9165 will be filed against Almacin today before the prosecutor’s office. –  (FREEMAN)
