AT LEAST six individuals involved in illegal drugs, one “most wanted person,” and nine provincial order violators were arrested by the San Fernando City Police Station.

Joint elements of the station's drug enforcement unit (SDEU), Pampanga Highway Patrol Troops (HPT), 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company (PMFC) Pampanga Provincial Office, City Public Order Safety and Coordinating Office (CPOSCO), and barangay officials nabbed six individuals in Barangay Quebiawan on May 29, 2021, for violating Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drug Act of 2002.

Nineteen small-sized plastic sachets containing substance believed to be shabu were confiscated from the suspects.

During the operation, nine persons were also apprehended for violating Section 2 of Provincial Executive Order 11-2021, or the Minimum Public Health Standards.

The HPT also impounded one unregistered motorcycle and three unregistered motorcycles with sidecar for lack of legal documents.

Later that day, the San Fernando police station conducted another operation in Barangay Telebastagan that led to the arrest of the City’s Most Wanted Person for Child Abuse penalized under Section 5 (b) of Republic Act 7610, known as “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act.”
