Arrested was Reyman Sangco, 38, of Barangay Orong, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental.

Maj. Joery Puerto, head of Police Station 8, said that Sangco is one of the drug personalities in the target list of Kabankalan City.

Puerto said the suspect can be considered as an alleged drug runner as he is tasked by a financier in Kabankalan City to allegedly get the supply of illegal drugs here.

The illegal drugs are then distributed in Kabankalan City, Puerto said.
