A Danish national and his Filipino cohort were arrested in a buy-bust operation on Thursday night, August 6, 2020, in Barangay Taloto, Tagbilaran City.
In a report by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA-Bohol) on Friday morning, the foreigner was identified as Kim Rasmussen, 55, while his cohort was Vinz Excel Sumatra, 23, from Booy District, Tagbilaran City.
Authorities seized 12 sachets of suspected shabu weighing at least 2.5 grams worth around P17,000.

PDEA said Rasmussen owns the items while Sumatra is the one tasked to deliver and collect the fees from customers.
Rasmussen is said to be able to dispose at least five grams of illegal drugs in the area per week.
Additional information also revealed that Rasmussen has been inviting women to use illegal drugs with him.
