The Eastern Police District (EPD) has seized a substantial drug valued at P1,093,662 during a week-long series of intensified operations.

From 4 May to 10 May, the EPD, through the synchronized efforts of the district headquarters and drug enforcement units launched 48 round-the-clock operations. These operations resulted in the dismantling of local drug networks and the apprehension of 69 suspects for violations of Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

The successful operations highlight the district’s operational readiness and its relentless pursuit of individuals and syndicates profiting from illicit substances.

By modernizing its crime-prevention strategies, the EPD continues to ensure that the police force remains a visible pillar of safety and a source of reassurance for the law-abiding public.

The EPD’s recent achievements are rooted in the institutionalization of the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman," ensuring that law enforcement actions are not only swift and effective but are also conducted with the highest degree of transparency and integrity.

EPD District Director Police Brigadier General Aden Lagradante commended the operating units for their dedication.
