CEBU CITY, Philippines— Police arrested a cultivator and uprooted around 20,000 fully grown marijuana plants with an estimated value of P8 million from a plantation in Sitio Kalugtogan, Barangay
They also recovered a 45 caliber with 2 magazines and 12 live ammunitions, one 38 caliber revolver, and one unit of KG9 with two pieces hand grenades in the area.
The operation happened two days since the ambush of three police officers who were doing surveillance operations in the hinterland barangay.“Noted na gyud nang lugara diha, kapila nana na uproot-an kay bugnaw. Karon kining maong operation, amo ning gi under surveillance ni namog mga usa gyud ka semana,” said Toledo Police chief Police Colonel Janet Rafter.
Toledo City police implemented the Wednesday morning operation in coordination with the Cebu Police Provincial Office and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas -7. They arrested farmer Jennelyn Conoseda Cabiles but her three other companions who were identified as Eduardo Alisoso Cabiles, Argie Cabiles, and Diovenal Cabiles managed to escape.“Di pa namo ma trace kung kinsa ani ang manag-igagaw o kinsa ang manag-igsoon on going pa ang investigation,” she added.
Rafter said they have also requested the Toledo City courts to issue a warrant for the arrest of the three other cultivators. /dcbLapu-Lapu City readies 1,000-bed capacity isolation centers for asymptomatic COVID-19 patientsThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
