LAOAG CITY – A suspected big-time drug peddler operating in Ilocos Norte was arrested in a drug buy-bust operation at the Gabaldon Elementary School in Laoag City March 21.
Senior Insp. Christopher Danao, head of the Ilocos Norte Police Provincial Office’s Anti-Illegal Drug Special Operations Task Group, identified the suspect as Virgilio Ganitano, 62, of Barangay 53 Rioeng, here.
Danao said the anti-narcotics operatives seized 20 sachets of crystalline substance believed to be “shabu” from the suspect.
The seized suspected drugs were estimated to have a street value of P10,000.
Danao said Ganitano, who is in the PAIDSOTG watchlist, has a pending appeal on a drug case before the Court of Appeals.
