Less than 24 hours after the mayor declared war against illegal drugs, the Station Drug Enforcement Team of Buhangin Police Station conducted a drug buy-bust operation in coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency 11 (PDEA 11) that resulted in an armed confrontation and death of a suspect at Ponte, Verde Subdivision, Phase 2, Brgy Communal, Davao City, early morning of Saturday.
The suspect was considered a Top 1 city-level drug personality in Davao City.
On Sunday, two minors were rescued by the personnel of Sta. Ana Police Station after they were caught carrying dried marijuana leaves at a checkpoint along Dacudao corner Del Pilar Streets in Davao City.
On the same day, the joint Task Force Davao (TFD) and DCPO personnel apprehended three individuals possessing shabu while manning the checkpoint in Brgy Lasang, Davao City.
