AUTHORITIES arrested two drug personalities who were listed as high-value individuals or targets (HVT) in a buy-bust operation Friday before dawn in Caloocan City.

Caloocan Police chief P/Col. Samuel Mina said Rommel Bobiles, 33, and Michael Ayuson, 38, both residents of Phase 12, Brgy. 178, Tala were the subjects of more than a week of validation and surveillance operation conducted by elements of Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) led by P/Maj. Deo Cabildo following several complaints from concerned citizens regarding their illegal drug activities.

At around 4:15 a.m., Bobiles and Ayuson conspired in selling a medium-sized plastic sachet of shabu in exchange for P45,000 marked money to a police poseur-buyer along Pili Street, Brgy. 178 that resulted in their arrest.

In his report to Northern Police District (NPD) Director P/BGen. Jose Santiago Hidalgo, Jr., Col. Mina said his men recovered from the arrested suspects more or less 50 grams of shabu with a standard drug price of P340,000.00 and the marked money.

Hidalgo lauded the Caloocan City Police for the successful conduct of a buy-bust operation which resulted in the arrest of two high-value drug personalities.
