A POLICE officer, who is considered as a high-value target, died in a drug bust operation in Talisay City Tuesday night.

PO3 Ryan Kiamco died in a shootout with police operatives past 6 PM.

Kiamco was named a high-value target by the Regional Intelligence Division in Central Visayas and was also in President Rodrigo Duterte’s list of drug protectors.

Senior Supt. Jonathan Cabal, RID-7 chief, said Kiamco was a member of the Special Weapons and Tactics of the Cebu Provincial Police Office.

Cabal added that Kiamco was also known to be a drug protector of shabu peddlers.

He was even spotted by a fellow policeman delivering illegal drugs to Carcar City in September 2016.
