In Kibungan, marijuana plants worth ₱ 630, 000.00 were discovered in the sitios of Balbalnag, Tebteb and Yong-awan all in Brgy. Badeo. Operatives were able to uproot 2,500 fully grown marijuana plants with an estimated standard drug price of ₱ 500, 000.00 planted in more or less 500 square meters land area and 3,250 marijuana seedlings worth ₱ 130, 00.00 planted in more or less 650 square meters land area.

Operating personnel burned the uprooted marijuana plants on site while samples were brought for evidence tagging and inventory.

In La Trinidad, a buy bust operation in Barangay Pico led to the arrest of a truck helper, native of Balagao, Tuao, Cagayan. He sold one (1) sachet of suspected shabu weighing more or less 0.76 gram worth ₱ 5,168.00 to the police operatives who acted as poseur-buyer.

In a statement, the Regional Director of PROCOR, PBGEN. R’win S Pagkalinawan said that PROCOR will not stop in its marijuana eradication program. The almost daily operation has targeted not only the fully grown marijuana plants but also the seedlings.
