The Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit, Provincial Intelligence Unit, Bansalan Municipal Police Station, and PDEA Davao Del Sur joined forces in arresting the three suspects.

A total of P180,000.00 were recovered from the arrested individuals. They will face charges in violation of the Republic Act 9165.
