CEBU CITY — Operatives from the Police Regional Office-7's Drug Enforcement Unit conducted a Christmas Eve anti-drug sting operation which resulted to the seizure of a total of P13.6 million of shabu.

The operation also saw the arrest of an 18-year-old high-value individual,  a resident of Sitio Lawis, Barangay Pasil.

The PRO-7-Drug Enforcement Unit chief, Lt. Col.

The suspect is now at a detention facility in Camp Sergio Osmeña Sr. as charges will still be filed on Wednesday when work resumes.

Prior to this operation, police also confiscated some P20.4 million worth of shabu from another high-value individual on 22 December, which saw the arrest of a certain Jerome Abanto, a resident of Barangay Ermita here.
