P9.5M worth of shabu seized from a minor in Cebu City

More than one kilo or at least P9.5million worth of illegal drugs was confiscated from a 15-year-old boy in a buy bust operation in Cebu City on Monday, Sept. 2.

The Cebu City police conducted a buy bust operation and was shocked that the drug peddler was a minor.

Police Major Kenneth Albotra, San Nicolas Police station chief, said: “We believe he was a drug courier of a certain drug group and that’s we are investigated right now.”

The 15-year-old boy is now under the custody of the police. He will be transferred to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

Albotra said that there are drug groups use minors as drug courier because they are unlikely to be imprisoned.
