A 40-year-old man tagged by the police as street level individual (SLI) for selling drugs was arrested together with two other drug peddlers in a buy-bust operation conducted by members of the Southern Police District Drug Enforcement Unit (SPD-DEU) in Parañaque City on Tuesday, May 24.
SPD Chief Brig. Gen. Jimili Macaraeg identified the suspects as Alexander Racca, Victor Cruz, 29, and Ruchard Olindo, 42, a security guard.
