CAMP SK PENDATUN: Anti-narcotics agents and police authorities arrested Wednesday in Marawi City three suspected drug peddlers, including a woman, and seized from them PHP6.8 million worth of shabu.
Brig. Gen. Prexy Tanggawohn, director of the Police Regional Office – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO-BAR), said the trio was arrested during a buy-bust operation at about 10 a.m. in Barangay Cabingan, Marawi City.
