Major Catherine Dela Rey, spokesman of the Police Regional Office (PRO) 11 said, the suspects who are live-in partners are listed as the region’s top high-value individuals linked to illegal drug trade.
She said the suspect alias Boy has been tagged as the regional-level top 1 and his partner is the regional-level top 3 drug personality.
Dela Rey said both are among the regional priority 10 High-Value Individuals (HVI).
The suspects are now under the custody of the Panabo City Police Station. A case is currently being prepared against them for violating R.A. 9165.
PRO 11 Regional Director Brigadier General Leon Victor Rosete warned all drug peddlers that they will not tolerate those who destroy lives for their own gain.
“We will not waver in our fight against illegal drugs. We will be relentless in our pursuit of those who threaten the safety and the future of the people in the community, especially in the Davao Region,” he said.
