The operatives led by Bogo police chief Insp. Arturo Pacifico arrested Vivencio Laparan alias "Indoy", 55, of barangay Cogon and James Ryan Metante, 20, of barangay Pandan, after a poseur-buyer bought drugs from them.
After his arrest, Laparan allegedly had 14 hand-rolled marijuana cigarettes and P110 on him while Metante was also found with P100 believed to be drug money.
Both arrested persons were brought to the police station while the confiscated evidences were brought to the PNP crime laboratory for examination.
Pacifico said Laparan is a noted marijuana pusher who can sell about 500 sticks every week while Metante served as his runner.
The police started watching Laparan after getting reports of the rampant selling of marijuana cigarettes in the said barangay. Most of his buyers are allegedly students.
Laparan transferred his operations from barangay Taytayan to barangay Pandan since he could not operate well in Taytayan after barangay officials closely monitored his illegal trade. - Norvie S. Misa
