On the same day, elements of the Pari-an Police Station in coordination with Waterfront police arrested three drug personalities and rescued two girls aged 15 and 16-years-old from Sitio Looban of the same barangay.
The joint police operation resulted to the recovery of 25 grams of suspected shabu worth around P320,000 from suspects Charmine Lisondra, 26, Rufflyn Rosell, 25, and Thomas Cerojano, 29.
Chief Insp. Kenneth Albotra, head of the Pari-an Police Station, said that Lisondra, who is the subject of their operation is from Sitio Kamansi, Barangay Lorega but would peddle drugs to her two cohorts who are from Barangay Tejero.
