TALISAY BUY-BUST: A dawn drug bust in Canton Ville, Barangay San Isidro, Talisay City proves fatal to two drug personalities who allegedly tried to engage police operatives in a shootout.

TWO suspected drug personalities were killed in a drug bust in Canton Ville, Barangay San Isidro, Talisay City at dawn Sunday, March 17.

They were identified as Jesson Aniñon, a high-value target, and Aldrich Cesa, a newly identified drug personality who allegedly sensed that they were transacting with the police.

Aniñon and Cesa reportedly drew their .38 revolvers and aimed these at operatives. This prompted the police to retaliate and shoot the two, which led to their deaths.

Seized were illegal drugs weighing 31.48 grams with a Dangerous Drugs Board value of P214,064 and two .38 revolvers with live bullets.

The operation was conducted by the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 7 based in the Tangke Talisay Forward Base and the Talisay City Police Office.

In Lapu-Lapu City, a suspected drug pusher and his alleged cohort were caught with P1.3 million worth of drugs.

Police said Pobadora and Salido are members of a big-time illegal drug group operating in Lapu-Lapu.
