SULTAN KUDARAT: Lawmen seized P1.3 million worth of shabu from five drug traffickers arrested here the other day in Sultan Kudarat’s capital town Isulan.
Superintendent Joefel Siason, Isulan’s police chief, said suspects Joey Gayagaya, 21, Cyril Puasan, 20, Mohammad Sambutuan, 39, Haron Luyogan, 18, and Alex Mamalo, 19, are now detained, awaiting prosecution.
Siason said the suspects belong to a big group circulating shabu in Isulan and nearby towns in Sultan Kudarat.
He said operatives first arrested Gayagaya and Puasan in Barangay Sampao west of Isulan with the help of community leaders.
The suspects led police agents to another hideout where Sambutuan, Luyogan and Mamalo were arrested.
Siason said policemen recovered from them P1.3 million worth of shabu, drug-sniffing paraphernalia and a motorcycle without any registration document.
