Two suspected drug dens were dismantled in separate Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-Negros Island Region buy-bust operations in Sibulan, Negros Oriental, and Bacolod City on Monday, Dec. 8.
The PDEA seized 11 sachets of suspected shabu weighing about 6 grams at around 2:05 p.m. in Purok 5, Brgy. Magatas, Sibulan.
Arrested were suspects identified only as “Roger,” 62, “Geraldine,” 39, and “Jiovani,” 36, of Brgy. Magatas, Sibulan.
Authorities also listed “Mary Ann,” a resident of Brgy. Magatas as at-large.
Drug paraphernalia, buy-bust money, several lighters, and aluminum foil strips were recovered from the area.
Earlier that day, PDEA teams also raided another suspected drug den in Progreso Village 1, Brgy. Vista Alegre, Bacolod City, at around 12:25 p.m.
Agents recovered five sachets of suspected shabu weighing about 11 grams, buy-bust money, improvised tooters, and coins.
