LOON, BOHOL– In a successful anti-drug operation, operatives of the Loon Municipal Police Station (MPS) arrested three high-value individuals (HVIs) during a buy-bust operation conducted at around 2:46 a.m. on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, in Purok 2, Barangay Talisay, Cabilao Island, Loon, Bohol.
Those apprehended include a 45-year-old married male contractor, a 42-year-old single male fisherman, and a 32-year-old single unemployed woman—all residents of the said area.
