Police collared pushers

A suspected drug pusher who allegedly caters to call center agents was arrested in a buy bust operation early yesterday morning in barangay Apas, Cebu City by elements of the Regional Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operation Task Force (RAIDSOTF).

The subject of the operation was Octavio Cabucos, 38, of Sitio San Miguel but his errand boy, Renato Ochea, 45, was also arrested.

Senior Insp. Joey Bicoy, team leader of the raiding team, said that they conducted a two-week surveillance before they launched the operation.

Seized were three small packs and two medium packs of white powder believed to be shabu with an estimated street value of P180,000.

Bicoy said they learned through their surveillance that Cabucos sells drugs and about 10 meters from his residence is a shanty used as a sniffing den.

Cabucos said he does not own the drugs. It was just left with him and he is selling it to earn a little.
