Abra Gov. Eustaquio Bersamin Jr. has approved the deployment of a police contingent to the provincial jail to prevent drug syndicates from using it to distribute shabu in the province.
Bersamin gave the green light for members of the Regional Mobile Group (RMG) to be assigned to the provincial jail upon the recommendation of Chief Superintendent Eugene Martin, police director of the Cordillera Administrative Region.
Martin believes that drug syndicates are using the provincial jail as distribution center of shabu in Abra following the results of two unannounced inspections conducted by Senior Superintendent Alex Pumecha, provincial police director.
