CALASIAO– A policeman who was a high value target in the war on illegal drugs in Pangasinan was shot dead in a buy-bust operation launched by joint police operatives on Aug. 4 in Barangay Banaoang here.

Killed was Sr. Police Officer 2 Randy Bandong, member of Umingan Police Station in this province and resident of Barangay Doyong of this town.

As Bandong, in his police uniform, was transacting the sale, he drew his firearm when he sensed he was transacting with an undercover police officer, prompting the police operatives to fire and shoot him in different parts of his body.

Bandong was immediately brought to the hospital but died on arrival.

Investigators recovered Bandong’s 9 mm service firearm and 8.27 grams of suspected shabu at the scene.

P/Senior Superintendent Ronald Lee, acting provincial police director, said Bandong was ranked second on the drug watch list of the province.

He reportedly supplied shabu to construction workers, tricycle drivers and bus conductors in Calasiao, Lee said. (Tita Roces)
