A man tagged as a high-value drug target by the police and his alleged cohort in the drug trade were arrested in an anti-drug operation in Tubigon.

The operation’s target, Daniel De Vera, 36, and one Exelito Ytac, 43, were allegedly caught in possession of shabu worth P108,800 during a drug buy-bust operation conducted by the Provincial Intelligence Branch and the Tubigon Police Station in Barangay Cahayag on Tuesday.

In a report, police said that De Vera sold shabu worth P500 to a poseur-buyer resulting in his apprehension.

Both men are now detained at the Tubigon lock-up jail and are set to be charged with violations against the Republic Act 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
