Amin Buratong member arrested in Pasig

An alleged member of Amin Buratong drug syndicate and his live-in partner were arrested after yielding P50,000worth of suspected shabu in Pasig City on Thursday.

At around 11 a.m., members of Eastern Police District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU), District Special Operations Unit (DSOU), and personnel of Pasig City Police served the search warrant against Elden Piamonte, 38; and Adora Santos, 39; at No. 54 San Bernando Street, Barangay San Joaquin, Pasig.

Police said that Santos was caught with Piamonte inside his house during serving of the warrant.

EPD Director Chief Supt. Bernabe Balba said that Piamonte is a member of Buratong drug syndicate—a narcotics group led by Amin Buratong that operated a shabu “tiangge” in Pasig City before it was shut down after his arrest in 2006.

“According to the District Intelligence Unit, Piamonte was a runner for the Buratong drug group and eventually becoming a pusher for the syndicate,” Balba said.

Piamonte is included in the drug watch list of Pasig City Police and was under surveillance since November 2016.

He was eventually arrested on Oct. 16, 2017 for illegal drugs but he was temporarily released after posting bail.

Meanwhile, an alleged member of Buratong drug syndicate was arrested in a buy-bust operation conducted by the elements of DDEU and District Intelligence Unit (DIU) on July 3.

Policemen nabbed Antonio Intalan, 49, of Barangay Pineda, Pasig and yielded P1.25 millionworth of suspected shabu with an estimated weight of 190 grams.

Seized from Piamonte and Santos were 36 sachets of suspected shabu, weighing about 11 grams, with an estimated value of P54,560 and several drug paraphernalia inside a black belt bag.

Suspects will be charged for violating RA 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (Jhon Aldrin Casinas)

Police asset gunned down by motorcycle-riding tandem

The woman who was slain by two assailants onboard a motorcycle along Don Vicente Ang St. in Caloocan City on Wednesday evening may be a police asset said the investigator on case.

Investigation showed that Clariz Marie Ocampo, 26, resident of Reparo St., Barangay 132, Bagong Barrio, Caloocan City, was followed by two men riding a motorcycle while she was onboard a tricycle at about 10:30 p.m.

Residents of the area reported hearing screams of help from Ocampo, then successive gunshots, then silence.

According to a report, upon reaching the dark and quiet street, the assailants blocked Ocampo’s path and shot her on different parts of her body then sped away.

Police said there were no witnesses to the crime except for the unidentified tricycle driver, who police are still hunting for.

Police are also investigating whether the tricycle driver was an accomplice in Ocampo’s killing.

Additionally, police said no one, not even her family, knew where Ocampo was going on the night she was killed.

The investigator on case said the killing may be drug-related after a sachet of suspected shabu was found in the back pocket of the victim.

Retrieved from the crime scene were six fired cartridge cases, a deformed fired bullet, and a caliber .45 live ammunition.

The victim’s body was brought to Eusebio Funeral Homes in Malabon City for autopsy examination.
