E-bike driver arrested in province, over P2 million worth of illegal substances seized

Recently in province of Cebu, a sting operation conducted by law enforcers resulted in the arrest of an electric bike (e-bike) driver and the seizure of illegal substances worth over P2 million, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) news article. It should be noted that the suspect was previously monitored by the local authorities.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

Regional anti-narcotics police arrested an electronic (e)-bike driver and seized a total of PHP2.04 million worth of suspected shabu in a sting operation Monday evening.

The police identified the suspect as alias Demot, a 33-year-old resident of Spolarium Street in Barangay Duljo-Fatima, whose work is driving an e-bike for a fee.

The suspect yielded the packs containing what is believed to be shabu, weighing 300 grams with an estimated street value of PHP2,040,000.

“The police is now investigating to determine the source of illegal drugs of the suspect,” a statement from the Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit 7 (Central Visayas) said Tuesday.

According to the police, the suspect was placed under close monitoring a week before his arrest after they received a report that he could dispose of 500 grams of illegal drugs per week.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the police will be able to determine the source of illegal drugs they seized from the arrested e-bike driver? Are you concerned that there could be more e-bike drivers around you who could be secretly working with drug pushers and crime syndicates?
