ILOILO CITY, Philippines – An alleged top drug trafficker and his four accomplices were arrested in a sting in President Roxas town in Capiz yesterday morning.

Paul John Culasino, 33, was arrested along with his men, identified as Rogelio dela Cruz, 32; Henry Las Piñas, 21, and brothers Louie Karl and Kenny Dave Bernaldez, 20, by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Barangay Marita.

The suspects reportedly yielded 15 plastic sachets said to contain 60 grams of shabu with an estimated street value of P360,000.

Town police chief Inspector Rachel Garnica said Culasino ranked first in the list of suspected drug traffickers in the municipality.

Aside from President Roxas, Culasino was  reportedly supplying shabu in the nearby towns of Pontevedra and Pilar.

The suspects were detained at the municipal jail as authorities are preparing to file charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act against them.
