In a report, Bulacan police director Col. Relly Arnedo said some 52 people were arrested in a series of anti-drug busts conducted by various Station Drug Enforcement Units (SDEUs) of the Bulacan police.

Seized were 104 sachets of suspected shabu, 11 sachets of dried marijuana leaves with a total DBB value of P240,290, assorted drug paraphernalia, and buy-bust money.

Meanwhile, 106 felons were arrested in the implementation of the warrant of arrest, including seven “most wanted persons” (MWPs) who were caught by the tracker teams of different police stations with the joint efforts of the 301st MC RMFB-3, Bulacan PHPT, 24th Special Action Company (SAF), and CIDG Bulacan.

Some 29 illegal gamblers were arrested in different anti-illegal gambling operations. They were caught in the act of playing illegal card bet games and “cara y cruz.”
