Sumabong was arrested by the intelligence operatives of Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO) in a buy-bust last January.
“We are checking if they are involved in some past shooting and robbery incidents in Bogo City,” said Oliver in Cebuano in a phone interview.
The suspects are level two drug pushers for they can allegedly dispose of 200 grams of illegal drugs per week.
