00:00 In Mandawel City, police raided a by-bus operation there because they were wearing dusters and pretending to be buyers.
00:10 This is what Jesse Atienza of PTV Cebu reported.
00:21 These police officers were wearing dusters pretending to be buyers when they found out that their target was a Cebu pusher in an anti-illegal drugs operation in Barangay Maguikay, Mandawel City.
00:34 The suspect was a jeep driver who bought more than a kilo of Cebu drugs worth almost 7 million pesos.
00:43 According to the authorities, the suspect is a sly and cunning man who is careful with transactions.
00:49 In order to hide the suspect, the police had to pretend to be a cop to succeed in the operation.
00:57 Actually, sir, the operations that we conducted to a subject came from the former officers who were arrested here in Mandawel.
01:08 So just like for example, sir, if we are arrested now, our investigator or intel officer will conduct an information gathering of this person so that the other transactions are our subject.
01:26 The police also planned and planned the arrest of the famous big time Cebu pusher.
01:34 During the actual operation, they dressed up first so that during their meeting, they will not go back.
01:48 The consistency of their story is important.
01:52 Meanwhile, a simultaneous anti-criminality law enforcement operations was conducted by the Police Regional Office 7 in the entire region.
02:01 Within three days, they confiscated more than 100 million pesos worth of drugs from different towns in the province of Cebu.
02:10 Along with this, we have arrested 214 drug suspects.
02:16 You can see, 100 million in three days.
02:21 This is a very impactful operation.
02:25 You can just imagine how many lives we were able to save because of this bulk of Cebu that were confiscated.
02:35 PNP Region 7 is also monitoring the possible origin of drug supplies before it enters Central Visayas.
