Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Negros Oriental have arrested three persons, and dismantled an alleged drug den during an operation Tuesday night in Sibulan town north of Dumaguete.
PDEA agents conducted a buy-bust operation around 8:31 p.m. Tuesday at Sitio Campaclan, Barangay Poblacion in Sibulan, which resulted in the discovery and subsequent dismantling of the alleged drug den, a PDEA-7 report said Wednesday.
Apprehended were Rubennie N. Furton, 33, an auto electric technician, who reportedly maintained the drug den; and his two “visitors”, Michael Frank V. Renacia, 33, and Rey D. Velez, 46.
Operatives seized 11 packs of suspected shabu weighing around 10 grams with an estimated street value of P68,000, buy-bust money, a cellular phone, and other drug paraphernalia.
Cases for violation of Sections 5, 6, 7, 11, and 12, Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act will be filed against the suspects. (Judy F. Partlow/PNA)
