With the help of drone, police operatives seized about Php
270,000-worth of methamphetamine hydrocloride, also known as ‘shabu’ from nine
drug suspects during a anti-drug operation in North
Cotabato .
North Cotabato provincial police director Senior Supt.
Alexander Tagum identified the suspects a certain Salping and Pendatun; Rodin
Camsa; Karex Untong Maliga; Datu Utto Salipada; Usop Saguipa; Esmael Abdul;
Hoffer Pasagui; and Bonifacio Bayog.
Tagum said the operatives used a "spy drone" to
trace four of the suspects, who tried to evade arrest by hiding at a swamp
beside Purok Krislam, Brgy. Poblacion, North Cotabato .
Drone meaning in the creative video photography of
inaccessible locations, meaning the bird's eye-view above the human ground
level. Access to view the ground from high altitude of several hundred feet
changes everything, it opens up entirely different perspective on the
environment.
Tagum said the suspects were arrested by members of the
local units of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, Provincial
Public Safety Company, as well as police teams from Matalam, Makilala, Magpet,
Antipas, and M'lang on Wednesday at around 10 a.m. as they were implemented two
search warrants issued by the Kidapawan Regional Trial Court Branch 17 against
Tedz Salping alias "Parson" and Henry Pendatun alias
"Kentig,".
He added they were found carrying 39 sachets containing
about 30 grams of suspected shabu, five rounds of live ammunition, and assorted
drug paraphernalia.
Four men fled during the raid and hid among bushes at a
swamp near the targets' houses, but were located with the drone's help, he
said.
For his part, Superintendent Bernard Tayong, North Cotabato provincial police spokesman, said it was
the police's first time to use a drone in anti-drug operations in the province.
He noted the drone was borrowed (from) Tagum's friend and it was
supposed to be for rescue efforts during calamities but for the first time
tried in anti-drug operation and it was found to be effective.
