Five suspected drug personalities, including a Bureau of Customs officer, were arrested after joint anti-drug operatives dismantled a suspected drug den in Barangay Balulang, Cagayan de Oro City, at around 11:35 p.m. on October 15, 2026. The suspects were identified by their aliases as “Drew,” 39, and “Cha,” 37, both residents of the subdivision and alleged co-owners and maintainers of the drug den; “Al,” 57, and “Adi,” 41, both from Looc, Plaridel, Misamis Occidental; and “Ton,” 38, a Bureau of Customs officer from Mandaue City, Cebu.
The operation, conducted by PDEA-10, local police units, and the 1001st Regional Mobile Force Battalion, resulted in the seizure of two sachets of suspected shabu weighing approximately five grams and valued at ₱34,000, along with an eyeglass case, a cellphone, two pistols—a Glock 21 caliber .45 with 13 rounds of ammunition and a Bersa Thunder caliber .380 with 15 rounds—a Toyota Vios, drug paraphernalia, and buy-bust money. The suspects will face charges under the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
