Cops bust drug trade in Zambales prison

Camp Olivas, Pampanga—Police seized 589 sachets of dried marijuana, 28 sachets of shabu, chemicals and cash from a Zambales provincial jail inmate Monday said to be the leader of drug pushing activities involving both prisoners and guards.

Authorities identified the pusher as Alex Crisologo, a detainee of Cell No. 5, in the provincial jail in Iba.

He is imprisoned for a previous drug-related offense.

A warrant issued by Cello Baguio, executive judge of the Regional Trial Court of Gapan City, provided the basis for the search.
