A MAN and his son yielded an estimated P20,000 worth of suspected shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) in a drug bust at Purok Kawayanan, Barangay Malingin, Bago City, in Negros Occidental Sunday, May 28.
City Police Chief Joeffer Cabural identified the target subjects as Francisco Seloterio, 57, and his son Jornel, 26, both residents of Barangay Malingin.
Both were subjected to Oplan Tokhang, but the younger Seloterio failed to surrender.
Also arrested was Eliezer Montaño, 29, of Barangay 27, Bacolod City, who brought the items to the Seloterios, Cabural said.
The Seloterios sold shabu to a police agent for P300.
Recovered from them were four sachets of shabu weighing two grams, the P300 marked money, drug paraphernalia, P440 cash, a cellular phone, and a motorcycle.
All suspects are detained at the police station.
