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.
