ABOUT P2 million worth of shabu were confiscated by San Fernando police in a buy bust operation in barangay Bugho at 3 am Thursday.

Police arrested Castro Barrameda, a native of Dumanjug town, southern Cebu along with six men who were having a pot session at the time of the arrest.

Chief Insp. Richard Gadingan of the San Fernando police said they received a tip from residents on Barrameda’s alleged drug dealings.

He said their monitoring showed that Barrameda’s home is being used as a drug den.

Police also recovered two .38 revolvers, one .22 revolver, one hand grenade and a KG-9 machine gun.

The confiscated shabu were packed into small and big sachets.

The identities of the six men who are undergoing interrogation are still unavailable as of this time.
