Camp BGen Efigenio C Navarro, Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro –A 21-year-old drug high-value individual (HVI) was nabbed in a drug buy-bust operation launched by PRO MIMAROPA, under the leadership of PBGEN SIDNEY SULTAN HERNIA, in Barangay Sabang, Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro Thursday evening, April 7, 2022.

The police report said that Kyle Angelo Maranan Decker, who hails from Brgy. Sabang was arrested after allegedly selling one heat-sealed transparent plastic sachet containing “shabu,” in exchange for a five-hundred-peso bill to a police poseur buyer in a police operation led by Puerto Galera Police.

Also seized from Decker’s possession were four pieces of small heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing “shabu”, weighing more or less 1 gram with an estimated standard drug price valued at Php 5,000.00, one cellphone, and other paraphernalia.

The data from the PNP Drug-Related Data Integration and Generation System (DRDIGS) of the Regional Operations Division show that PRO MIMAROPA had scored 88 anti-illegal drug operations since January this year, yielding a total of 269.15 grams of “shabu,” valued at Php 1,830,220.

Said arrested suspect is now under the custody of Puerto Galera MPS while a complaint of violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (RA 9165) is being prepared for the inquest proceedings against him.

“I commend the operatives of Puerto Galera MPS for another successful law enforcement operation that led to the arrest of this high-value drug individual. I hope that this will serve as a stern warning for those involved in this illegal drug trade for we will not cease until the illegal drugs problem in our region comes to an end”, PBGen Hernia said. – RPIO MIMAROPA
