Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) have arrested a former Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) and three others in a buy-bust operation in an east coast village of this city, a top PDEA official disclosed.
PDEA Regional Director Adzhar Albani said the suspects were arrested around 8 p.m. Thursday in Barangay Culianan, 13 kilometers east of this city.
Albani identified the suspects as Joseph Toribio, 35, a former OFW, habal-habal driver Mark Araneta, 26, and mechanics Jobert Macatio, 21 and Christian Toribio, 23.
Albani said the suspects were arrested after they handed over a heat-sealed plastic sachet of suspected shabu to a PDEA undercover agent in exchange for P500.
The buy-bust operation was carried out following two weeks of surveillance on the activities of the suspects.
