Two village watchmen were arrested, while another colleague remains at large, after they allegedly stashed in the barangay hall approximately half kilo of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu and other assorted illegal drugs worth P4 million they earlier found in an abandoned electric bicycle (e-bike) in Makati City.
Sr. Supt. Gerardo Umayao, Makati police chief, identified the suspects as Alvin Notado, 40, of San Andres, Manila; and Leo dela Cruz, 52, of Barangay San Antonio, Makati.
Their colleague Antonio Forte was still being hunted down by the police.
Umayao also bared that they were studying the filing of charges against Barangay Chairman Restituto Cajes, who reportedly ordered his watchmen to hide the illegal drugs.
Initial investigation revealed that Makati policemen trooped to the barangay hall of Barangay San Antonio at 3: 57 p.m. and convinced the watchmen to surrender the drugs they found in an abandoned e-bike.
Umayao said the three suspects, along with three unnamed colleagues, discovered the e-bike containing suspicious boxes on Teka Street, Barangay San Antonio last Friday. The incident was caught in a closed circuit television (CCTV) footage, he said. (Manila Bulletin)
