CAMP TOLENTINO, Bataan -- Meaning
business in their campaign against illegal drugs, a top PNP official reported
that four more suspected drug peddlers were arrested Sunday night in a buy-bust
operation.
Sr. Supt. Arnold D. Gunnacao,
Bataan police director, said that first to fall in a series of follow-up
operations was Cesar Renosa, 42, married, of Barangay Wawa in Abucay town after
handing to a poseur-buyer two pieces of P500 bills laced with ultra violet
powder, in exchange for one heat-sealed transparent sachet of shabu.
Confiscated from his possession
were another nine pieces of small heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets, each
containing white crystalline substance believed to be shabu, and one improvised
tooter.
Inspector Galahad Taqueban, chief
of police of Abucay PNP, pegged the confiscated illegal drugs at an
approximate street value of P10,000.
Violation of illegal drugs law
sections 5, 11 and 12 will be charged against Reñosa. His arrest is part of the
follow-up operations of the Bataan police

also collared Rolando Manalo, Aiza Bantay and Bienvenido Ramos, all of Bagac
town after they reportedly sold shabu worth P10,000 to policemen who posed as
buyers during a buy-bust operation.
The buy-bust operation was

that there were drug pushers selling shabu in the area.

suspects, Fabia said that another six sachets of shabu were confiscated from
the possession of the suspects.
