Operatives of the Intelligence Branch of Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) led by Chief Insp. Cristopher Navida arrested Jefferson Pabalate, 18, single, jobless, who is a resident of Baragay Suba.

According to Navida, Pabalate is linked to drug suspects Melchor Ocarol and Daniel Ongcol who were arrested in November last year.
