TEN persons were arrested in separate anti-drug operations in Metro Cebu during the weekend.
One of the suspects was identified as Angie Alburo, a 28-year-old resident of Barangay Pulpogan, Consolacion. According to the Mandaue City Police Office, she is a high-value target.
She was caught at dawn on Sunday, Nov. 4, at a checkpoint on A. Soriano Ave. in Barangay Centro, Mandaue City.
Centro Police Station Chief Insp. Aldrin Villacampa said Alburo was on board a motorcycle for hire when it was flagged down. She allegedly tried to throw the drugs in her possession, but police seized three small packs of suspected shabu from her.
