A TOTAL of P2.4 million worth of illegal drugs were seized, and 172 individuals arrested in July by various Davao City Police Office (DCPO) units.
Acting city director Col Mannan Muarip said 138 police operations resulted in the confiscation of 354.5854 grams of shabu, 61.8612 grams of marijuana, and 17 ecstasy tablets.
The total street value of the seized drugs reached over Php 2.4 million, with 181 related cases filed in court.
In its campaign against illegal gambling, the DCPO arrested 58 suspects in 50 operations, leading to the confiscation of P 15,062 in bet money.
Meanwhile, police arrested 187 wanted persons in the intensified manhunt operations, including
67 individuals classified as “most wanted persons” and 120 others with outstanding warrants.
The campaign against loose firearms also yielded 16 unlicensed weapons and 14 arrests from 24 operations. Additionally, six firearms were surrendered, and three were turned over for safekeeping under Oplan Katok.
Police filed 14 cases in connection with these operations.
According Muarip, these achievements are a direct result of a “testament to the power of united action” involving the police, local barangay officials, and the community.
He also credited “the active participation of the community, barangay leaders, and local government, who continue to be vital partners in the ongoing fight against criminality.”
