Supt. Juritz B. Rara, city police chief, identified the suspect as Frederic Bacani alias “Bacani,” 40, of 3202 Villa Paz, Sta. Teresita, Angeles City.
Rara said he got a tip that a certain Bacani was posing as a police officer and selling illegal drugs in the business district of Dau. Rara said he immediately formed a crack police team led by Sr. Insp. Melvin Florida Jr. to check on the illegal activities of the suspect.
Shortly after, the crack police team nabbed Bacani in a buy bust operation. The suspect was wearing a police uniform when arrested and was in possession of sachets containing shabu worth P10,000 and a .45 pistol with five bullets.
The shabu sachets were taken to the Angeles City Crime Laboratory Office for examination.
