DAY 3: BUY-BUST OPERATION
On March 4, 2025, the General Component City Police Station (GCCPS) demonstrated its commitment to combating illegal drug activity through a successful buy-bust operation. Under the direct supervision of PLTCOL KRISTINA ACIDRE, the operation targeted and apprehended Juan Dela Cruz, known as "Buboy." The operation utilized 4,000 pesos of genuine marked money to facilitate the transaction, resulting in the initial seizure of 10 grams of suspected Methamphetamine Hydrochloride, commonly known as "shabu." The suspect was immediately informed of his constitutional rights upon arrest.
The meticulous ex*****on of the operation involved a poseur buyer who, upon completing the illegal drug deal, provided a pre-arranged signal. This prompted strategically positioned members of the team to apprehend the suspect. A subsequent body search yielded further incriminating evidence, including two additional small sachets of suspected shabu, bringing the total confiscated amount to 10 grams. Furthermore, the search revealed the marked 4,000 pesos, two .45 caliber pistols with serial numbers BB123421 and BB098765, a Toyota car key, and an Android cellular phone.
The inventory, marking, and photographing of the confiscated evidence were conducted in the presence of the arrested suspect and witnessed by representatives from the media, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and an elected Barangay Kagawad from Brgy. CastaΓ±eda, Silang, Cavite. This ensured transparency and adherence to legal protocols. Following the documentation process, the arrested suspect and all confiscated evidence were transported to the GCCPS for proper disposition and further investigation.
