Kapitan collars 2 drug pushers in his barangay
CITIZEN’S ARREST
URDANETA CITY— While other barangay officials in Pangasinan conveniently keep their Barangay Anti Drugs Abuse Council inactive to allow drug syndicates to operate freely in their communities, the barangay officials of this city are showing the way, and are making a difference.
Recently, Urdaneta Barangay Chairman Arsenio Lapena Elegado Sr. of Barangay Mabanogbog arrested two suspected drug pushers in his barangay on separate occasions on November 1 and 2.
Elegado caught and arrested Cesar Boado, 22, a resident of Barangay Mabanogbog in the act of selling one sachet of Shabu on November 1.
On November 2, Elegado arrested Noel Maramba, 20 a resident of barangay Mabanogbog with one sachet of Shabu in his possession.
The two suspects were turned over to Urdaneta City Police Station (UCPS) and were charged with violation of Republic Act 9165 or Illegal Possession of Dangerous Drugs.
