A radio broadcaster and an accomplice are now detained after being caught in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Riverside, Calinan, Davao City.
In an interview with Brigada Davao, Police Major Robel Saavedra, acting police chief of the Calinan Police Station, stated that the operation targeted alias Arnulfo, 44, a resident of Diwata, Monkayo.
Accompanying the primary target at the time was his accomplice, alias JM, 33, who initially identified himself as a farmer from Mati City, Davao Oriental.
However, it was later discovered that JM is a radio broadcaster who previously worked in the said city and is now operating in San Isidro, Davao Oriental.
