A SUSPECTED drug pusher was hurt when members of the New People’s Army ambushed the policemen who arrested him in Laak town, Compostela Valley Tuesday afternoon.
Members of the Laak police, led by Insp. Ricky Remorosa, were on board a patrol car with suspect Warlito Bastillado, when the rebels fired on them in Barangay Bullokan shortly after noon.
Bastillado, who was collared for possession of two packs of dried marijuana, was hit in the face and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
No one among the lawmen was hurt in the incident.
Authorities recovered a caliber .45 pistol with nine rounds of ammunition, three back packs containing two improvised bombs, electrical wires, explosive materials and medicines at the crime scene. Alfred Dalizon
