CAMP GEN. PANTALEON GARCIA, IMUS, Cavite – Two drug suspects, who opted to engage lawmen in a gun battle rather than yield, were killed Monday night in Summerwind Drive, Barangay Burol-Main, Dasmarinas City.
The Cavite Police Provincial Office (PPO) identified the slain suspects only as McDo and Bong.
The two suspects died on the spot from multiple bullet wounds.
Bacoor police investigator Elmo Caboboy said that the suspects opted to exchange gunfire with a police team which was about to arrest them following a buy-bust operation.
The suspects drew and fired their guns after sensing that the buyer, who purchased P700-worth of shabu from them was a police officer.
Recovered from the suspects were two .38 cal. revolvers.
In a separate operation, authorities also arrested on Monday midnight a drug suspect with shabu worth P3.4 million at a mall’s parking lot in Bacoor City.
Sikal Bara Abdullah was arrested by a joint police team after he was caught with shabu, weighing 500 grams, in an operation at the parking area of a mall on Aguinaldo Highway and Tirona Road in Barangay Habay II, Bacoor.
The seized shabu, contained in nine plastic sachets and placed in a paper bag, was reportedly worth P3.4 million.
The seizure was made after the arresting officers handed a bundle of P1,000 in boodle money to the suspect.
The suspect was arrested by a team of officers from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and the Bacoor police at 12 midnight Monday.
