OLONGAPO CITY — A 58-year-old American and two Filipinos were arrested in a drug operation on Wednesday (June 21).
Kevin Ryan and his two Filipino companions Reynaldo Yandoc, 52, and Isagani Andrade, 39, were caught selling shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) to an undercover police agent in Barangay (village) Barreto, said Senior Supt. Melchor Cabalza III, acting director of the Olongapo City Police Office.
Yandoc, Andrade and Ryan, a resident of Grayback Drive, East Kalayaan inside the Subic Bay Freeport, had been under police surveillance prior to their arrest, Cabalza said.
Police seized 15 plastic sachets containing alleged shabu from the suspects.
Ryan was the second American national to be arrested in the same village in less than a month.
