DAVAO City Police Office (DCPO) operatives seized over P400,000 worth of suspected illegal drugs from a high-value target in a raid at around 2 a.m. in Purok Uma, Minterbo, Barangay Ilang on Thursday, Feb. 26.
Acting city director Col Mannan Caracas Muarip said the police executed a search warrant on the house of a 39-year-old suspect known by the alias Lab, classified as a high-value individual in the city’s drug watch list.
The Bunawan Police Station, led by Cpt Ramil Anthony Maxey and supervised by station commander Maj Janus Lumbaya Macli-ing, recovered several sachets of suspected shabu during the operation.
“The DCPO remains resolute in protecting families and ensuring Davao City remains safe and drug-free,” Muarip said in a statement, reiterating the office’s commitment to dismantling drug networks while upholding human rights and due process.
The suspect is now in custody and faces a charge for violating Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002).
