He said Ainal of Sangkula, who was with Aradi during the buy-bust operation, was arrested by the joint operatives of PDEA, police, and the military.
He said the joint operatives have recovered some 50 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated market value of P340,000, one .45-caliber pistol with live ammunition, drug paraphernalia, and marked money.
