Two minors, who claimed they were used as drug couriers by a suspected drug peddler, were rescued during Wednesday’s police drug operation in Sitio Mahayahay 2, Barangay Calamba in Cebu City.
Suspected drug peddler, Dominick Larrobis, 32, of Sitio Mahayahay was also arrested during the buy-bust operation, said Chief Insp. Hendrix Bancoleta, San Nicolas Police chief, during a phone interview on Wednesday.
