BACOLOD CITY -- Policemen arrested three brothers who allegedly yielded 25 grams of shabu worth P170,000 during a buy-bust operation in Barangay Guinhalaran, Silay City, Negros Occidental on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Busted were Catanghal brothers -- Angelito, 56, Jerry, 42, and Edsel, 58 -- all residents of Barangay Guinhalaran.
Lt. Col. Mark Anthony Darroca, Silay police chief, said they launched an operation against the siblings after receiving a report two months ago about their alleged engagement in the illegal drug trade.
Police placed them under monitoring for two weeks.
Darroca said the suspects sometimes reportedly use their house as a drug den, wherein they allow some of their clients to hold ‘pot sessions.’
Darroca added that the suspects allegedly sourced out the illegal drugs from here.
