COTABATO CITY — Policemen in Marawi City foiled on Tuesday morning an attempt by a courier, reportedly connected with the Dawlah Islamiya, to deliver P408,000 worth of crystal meth (shabu) to a buyer in Molundo town in Lanao del Sur.
Brig. Gen. Prexy D. Tanggawohn, director of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, told reporters on Thursday that the motorcycle-riding suspect was arrested by policemen guarding a security roadblock in Barangay Patani in Marawi City.
The suspect, supposedly on his way to Molundo, first turned around and tried to escape when he saw a police team inspecting vehicles passing through a stretch of a barangay road in Patani. — John Felix M. Unson
