CEBU CITY–The son of a retired policeman was killed in a police operation inside his residence in Barangay Carreta past 3 a.m. on Friday.
Gener Rondina, 38, and son of retired SPO4 Generoso Rondina, allegedly engaged police operatives in a shootout when they served a search warrant against the suspect for possession of illegal drugs, said Supt. Joie Yape, head of the Regional Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group (RAIDSOTG).
Seized from Rondina were 17.2 grams of shabu worth P204,222 and a .45 caliber gun.
The police also conducted another raid in Barangay Tejero to arrest Rondina’s sister Jocelyn who was also allegedly involved in the illegal drugs trade. But Jocelyn was not around when the police barged into her residence.
Police arrested Jocelyn’s live-in partner Rewell Villanueva and their 21-year-old son Francis John who were caught in possession of shabu and a .45 caliber gun.
Police investigators had yet to determine the weight and value of the illegal drugs seized from the suspects.
