A Female Drug Den Operator Was Arrested In North Cotabato
ARRESTED – Last Saturday (June 1, 2019), a female drug den operator was apprehended by police authorities in North Cotabato.
The president’s campaign against drugs still goes on and many suspects are either seized by the police or have surrendered themselves. Unfortunately, there are still people getting involved in illegal drug transactions.
Recently, a 28 year old female drug den operator was apprehended by the local police force. The drug den was also deconstructed.
Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director Naravy Duquiatan spoke last Monday about the recent operation.
She said that the operation was conducted in Barangay Poblacion in the town of Pikit. The female drug suspect identified as Grace Lacera was included in the target-listed drug involved personas.
Lacera was arrested in the same operation.
Also arrested was Lacera’s live-in partner. They were both suspected to be involved in illegal drug transactions.
Duquitan also revealed about PDEA agents being assisted by North Cotabato Police office personnel in Pikit Town, together with Police Regional Office -12 Intelligence Division in conducting their law enforcement operation.
She also claimed that the suspects’ home was know to be used as a drug den.
“It is known in the community that their residence is being utilized as a drug den,” She said.
PDEA has also put their spot under surveillance for four weeks before the arrest.
Eight tiny sachets of alleged shabu was seized from the den, the sachets weighed approximately 0.05 grams each. Also a handmade foil tooter and other drug-use paraphernalia.
This is according to an article from Philippine News Agency.
The suspects could face charges for violation Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs) and Section 12 (Possession of Drug Paraphernalia), Article II of Republic Act 9165 also referred to as The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
