A SUSPECTED pusher escaped while his common-law partner was arrested in an aborted drug deal at Sitio Saac, Barangay Mactan in Lapu-Lapu City last Friday morning.

Operatives of the regional Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA-7) were transacting with suspected pusher Ricky Costora who sensed their cover and fired at their team leader’s right leg before escaping.

PDEA agents managed to detain Costora’s common-law partner Janet Pepito, a resident of Barangay Calamba, Cebu City. Pepito yielded packets of shabu worth P5,000.
