CABANATUAN CITY --
Some P1 million worth of shabu was confiscated while eight drug personalities
were arrested in a police buy-bust operation here at Barangay Zulueta Tuesday
morning.
City police chief Supt.
Ponciano Zafra identified those arrested as Nemencius Galang, 48; Leoncio
Ancheta, 48; Josephine Ancheta, 43; Marvin Palolan, 29; John Rendden Ancheta,
25; Joshua Gabriel Ancheta 19, Gian Jayson Ancheta, 17, all from Doña
Encarnacion Ave., Barangay Zulueta and Elena Valdez, 24, of Barangay San Roque
Norte.
Zafra said the
buy-bust was conducted around 7 a.m. against Nemencius Galang and Leoncio
Ancheta who sold P2,500 worth of shabu to a cop.
The shabu was
contained in 18 plastic sachets, six of which weighed around 50 grams each.
Total quantity of
illegal drugs confiscated was around 340
grams with street value of more than P1 million.
Josephine, Marvin,
John Rendden, Joshua Gabriel, Gian and Elena were apprehended while “repacking”
shabu at Nemencius’s house.
Once repacked for
street level distribution, the confiscated shabu may come out to more than
11,200 sachets of P500 retail-size.
Since last year, this
city’s police have arrested 280 drug personalities from 180 anti-drug
operations.
More than 1.25 kilos
of shabu and almost seven kilos of marijuana have been confiscated.
More than 6,000 houses
of persons suspected of involvement in the illegal drugs have been visited
under Project Tokhang.
On Holy Week, Zafra
and his police team arrested eight other drug pushers including Reynaldo Delos
Santos, chairman of Barangay Pula and his son Billy Rey. Reynaldo is listed the
Nueva Ecija’s No. 1 High Value Target (HVT) under Project Double Barrel
Reloaded.
SPO4 Edwin Batulay is
the city’s police intelligence chief.
