ANTI-DRUG operatives in Tacloban City arrested two suspects and confiscated 100 grams of shabu and marijuana with estimated worth of P720,000 Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

“This significant accomplishment will prevent the proliferation of illegal drugs particularly in Tacloban City and will surely save the lives of our children from drug addiction,” said Tacloban Police director Colonel Darwin Miranda.

Tacloban City Police Station 2-Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) identified the suspects as Jovit Andacahao, 29, and Marian Martinez, 10, both residents of the city.

They were arrested during the buy-bust operation in Barangay 21, Tacloban around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said in the report.

The suspects will be facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (SunStar Philippines)
