CEBU CITY, Philippines — After confiscating nearly a half a million peso worth of suspected shabu four days ago in Barangay Guadalupe, police this time got a one million peso drug haul during an anti-illegal drug operation on Black Saturday in Banawa of the Cebu City barangay.
Joshua Sudario, 19, was arrested after he was caught with 150 grams of suspected shabu during a buy-bust operation in Banawa on the morning of April 20, said Police Major Kenneth Paul Albotra, San Nicolas Police Precinct chief, in an interview with CDN Digital on Saturday.
Albotra said the confiscated drugs had an estimated Dangerous Drugs Board value of P1 million.
