SPD arrests 81 drug suspects, seizes P2.98M worth of illegal drugs

The Southern Police District (SPD) arrested 81 drug suspects and seized nearly P3 million worth of illegal drugs during intensified anti-drug operations conducted from 22 to 28 June.

SPD said its operatives carried out 66 anti-illegal drug operations across six cities and one municipality, resulting in the arrest of 80 street-level individuals and one high-value individual.

Authorities confiscated about 437.58 grams of shabu and 15 grams of marijuana with a combined standard drug price of P2,977,344.

SPD Director P/Brig. Gen. Glenn Oliver Cinco said the operations reflect the district's continuing commitment to combating illegal drugs through proactive law enforcement, intelligence-driven operations, and close coordination with partner agencies and the community.

Cinco said the SPD will sustain its intensified anti-illegal drug campaign and urged the public to continue supporting law enforcement efforts by reporting illegal drug activities.
