CEBU CITY, Philippines — A woman, who was sent to deliver suspected shabu to a buyer in Barangay Tabunok in Talisay City, landed in jail after she was arrested by the police, Saturday night, Nov.
Suspect Elmilyne Ponce, 40, is not new in the illegal drug business, according to Police Lieutenant Colonel Randy Caballes, chief of the Talisay City Police Station.
Caballes said they placed the suspect under surveillance for two weeks before they sent a poseur buyer to transact with her Saturday night.Based on their investigation, Ponce would allegedly communicate with a middleman, a certain Keir, who is an inmate of the Cebu City Jail in Barangay Kalunasan in Cebu City, to get her supply of ‘shabu.’
Despite Ponce’s arrest, Caballes said, the drug situation in Barangay Tabunok remains manageable. Based on their investigation, there is only a “slight demand” for illegal drugs in the barangay. They have also identified the users in the area that are based in Mananga and other neighboring sitios.Meanwhile, Caballes said that majority of the drug suspects that they have arrested in their recent anti-drugs operation were men. And most of them come from neighboring localities.
