A woman was among the six suspected drug peddlers arrested by the police in a series of buy-bust operations in Negros Occidental on July 8 and 9, that yielded about P87,000 worth of illegal drugs.

Geralyn Aguas, 34, alias “Bopay”, tagged by the police as a street level individual, was apprehended yesterday during a buy-bust operation in Brgy. Lantad, Silay City, with eight grams of suspected shabu, worth P54,400, P1,000 in marked money, and P231 in cash, the police said.

The arrest of John Ray Amar and Joenel Arcenal by the police Thursday in La Castellana and Manapla, also yielded more than three grams of suspected shabu, worth P25,000, a cellular phone, P530 in cash, and assorted drug paraphernalia.
