TIn Dauis, a joint team from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Bohol and the 703rd PNP Maritime arrested a resident of Barangay Mariveles. The suspect was identified as one Conrado Aranzado, 29, a resident of Purok 7. Aranzado was apprehended during a raid about 5:40 am last June 24. The raiding team recovered seven packs of suspected shabu. The raid was conducted by virtue of a search warrant issued by Executive Judge Fernando Fuentes III of the Regional Trial Court Branch 49 based in Tagbilaran. Aranzado was temporarily placed under the custody of PDEA-Bohol while appropriate charges were being readied for filing against him. The seized substance were submitted to the Bohol PNP crime laboratory for chemical analysis.
Meanwhile, a young suspect in the rape of two sisters aged 6 and 7 were arrested by elements of the Calape police. The suspect was identified as one Angel Ballon, 20, single and a resident of Barangay Labuon, Calape. PO2 Siegfred Veloso told Station DyTR that the girls are daughters of the suspect's grandfather. Veloso said the girls are children of the man in his second marriage while the suspect lives in the same house. The man chanced upon the suspect raping the 6-year-old girl in an abandoned house nearby about 5:30 pm last June 26. The girl's father immediately reported the incident to the Calape PNP station. Ballon was arrested at 9:30 am the following day in Barangay Tultogan. After the suspect's arrest, the 7-year-old sister of the victim reported that she was also abused by the same man but did not give the date.
The suspect was detained at the Calape PNP lock-up jail while the charges were being prepared against him. Veloso said the suspect is slated to undergo inquest proceedings on Monday. As this developed, another collector of the Taytay sa Kauswagan Inc. (TSKI) was held up along the national highway in Trinidad town 7 pm last June 23. The suspect identified as Darwin Valero, 32, single and a resident of the same town was divested of his collection amounting to P32,000 by three armed men who waited for him along the road. Valero was riding on a habal-habal (motorcycle-for-hire) driven by one Joemar Polinar when the suspects struck. The victim was on his way to remit his collections to the TSKI office in Talibon when the motorcycle was blocked by the suspects in a motorcycle who wore bonnets to hide their faces. Aside from his collections, Valero was also divested of his Nokie 6600 cellphone. The unabated hold-ups in the towns have alarmed residents who wonder why the Bohol police are helpless against them. |
