SOME 30 grams of suspected shabu and an unlicensed firearm were seized from the number one suspected drug pusher in the target list of the Dagupan City police station (DCPS) when arrested last September 6.

The suspect, Alvin Castro and his wife Cornelia Catalino Castro, both residents of barangay Bonuan Binloc in Dagupan were arrested by police operatives that were conducting Oplan Sita on Arellano Street.

The two were intercepted on board a motorcycle after receiving an information that the duo was carrying illegal drugs they picked up from Sitio Aling on Arellano St.

Castro had a .38 caliber gun tucked on his waist prompting the policemen to subject them to a thorough search.

Supt. Christopher Abrahano, Dagupan police chief, said Castro is on top of the station’s target list since his operations already reportedly extend beyond the city.

Castro reportedly deals directly with suppliers of illegal drugs in large volumes.

“The volume we confiscated from him is a proof of his large volume of transactions”, said Abrahano.

Police seized 20 sachets of Shabu weighing 30 grams with the market value amounting to P150, 000, found in his possession suspected to have been collected in Sitio Aling.

Castro has a pending trial for murder and robbery cases but is out on bail.

“In this case, we will make sure that our case against him is airtight so that he and his wife will be convicted for their illegal activities”, said Abrahano.

Castro’s wife, Cornelia is also listed in the target list on illegal drugs of the DCPS.

Charges for violation of R.A. 9165 and illegal possession of firearm were filed against the suspects who are now detained the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. (Hilda M. Austria)
