Meanwhile, Barangay Police Security Officers (BPSOs) of Brgy Commonwealth responded to a telephone call from a concerned citizen regarding an on-going shabu session at about 4:45 p.m. of October 25, 2016 at 927 Kasunduan St., Brgy.

All the arrested suspects will be charged with violation of R.A. 9165 or the Comprehensive Drugs Act of 2002.

PSSupt Eleazar commended the operatives for their successes, adding, “We are glad that despite the number of arrests in these three operations, none of the pushers were armed and surrendered peacefully to the arresting officers. We hope no more drug suspects will pull out guns or grenades to use on the police, which only result in their extermination and tragedy to their families. We are also so gladdened by the rapid action of the intrepid barangay watchmen who responded to a citizen’s tip and arrested three suspects. As I have said before, this is the ideal anti-crime triumvirate – police, barangay, and citizens working hand in hand.
