The target suspect in the raid was identified as Junemark Lombrino, 34.

The value of alleged shabu found from Lombrino, who was a street level individual, was P100,640, according to Lt. Ruby Aurita, spokesperson of San Carlos City Police Station.

Lombrino had been placed under monitoring for so long due to his alleged engagement in the illegal drug trade, Aurita said.

She said they are also probing if Lombrino has a link with a drug group.
