P28.5-M ‘shabu’ seized in Cebu, Bohol sting ops
Authorities confiscated suspected shabu with an estimated street value of PHP28.5 million in separate pre-Christmas buy-bust operations in Cebu and Bohol.
In Cebu City, a 38-year-old woman identified as 'Nesan' was arrested on December 23, with police seizing 3,010 grams of suspected shabu valued at PHP20.4 million.
Investigators believe 'Nesan' acted as a courier and keeper, capable of distributing 3 kg. to 5 kg. of shabu weekly across Talisay, Mandaue, and Lapu-Lapu City.
In Tagbilaran City, Bohol, a 22-year-old boatman was arrested on the same day, with authorities recovering 1,200 grams of suspected shabu valued at PHP8.1 million.
The Bohol operation was part of the 'Oplan Limpyo Tagbilaran' anti-drug campaign, and the arrested boatman is being investigated to determine his drug supply source.
Evidence seized in both operations has been submitted to the Philippine National Police's Forensic Unit 7 for chemical analysis.
