CEBU CITY—While most drug dealings are done in clandestine operations, this 21-year-old man had the guts to openly sell illegal drugs online.
John Angel Catulong Bantilo used Facebook in selling shabu but his dealings didn’t last long after he was arrested in a buy-bust operation early morning yesterday.
Police said the man blatantly offered to sell shabu on Facebook.
Using the name John Wall, the man said in one of his Facebook posts that he is selling two packs of shabu for P250.
The post reached the police through the “Itug-an ni C.D.” hotline.
Headed by Chief Insp. Eduard Sanchez, a buy-bust operation was hatched.
Bontilo agreed to meet a poseur-buyer. Little did the suspect know that he was dealing with a policeman, who arrested him on Visitacion Street in Barangay Sambag 2 at 5:30 a.m. yesterday.
Seized from the suspect were one elongated sachet and three sachets of suspected shabu worth P35,400. (Calvin D. Cordova)
