2 drug pushers nabbed

MEMBERS of the Sta. Ana Police Station arrested two suspected drugs pushers in a buy-bust operation at Isla Verde in Barangay 23-C in Davao City on Monday.

The suspects were identified as Marlon Bungabong Cagoco, 48, of Barangay San Antonio in R. Castillo in Agdao; and Khalid Abhas Buatan, 25, of Purok 4-A at Isla Verde.

Sta. Ana police chief Superintendent Royina Garma said the suspects were arrested after one of the two suspects handed a sachet of suspected shabu to a police officer who acted as a buyer.

Recovered from the possession of the suspects were six diamond-shaped sachets of suspected shabu, a black-and-white coin purse, a black pouch, and P1,000 in marked money.

Garma said the operation was coordinated with the Davao Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives.

The suspects were arrested at Purok 3 at Isla Verde around 10:30 p.m. following the information from a concerned citizen that the two were selling drugs.

The two are now detained at Sta. Ana Police Station and are facing charges for violation of the Republic Act 9165 or The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
