LSPPO destroys over 5,000 marijuana plants in Sultan Dumalondong, Lanao del Sur

The Lanao del Sur Police Provincial Office (LSPPO) conducted a cannabis eradication operation in the upland hinterlands of Sultan Dumalondong on the morning of 19 June 2025, acting on a tip from local residents. Three alleged cultivators were arrested and more than 5,000 fully grown cannabis plants were uprooted across a roughly 2,000-square-metre plot, with an estimated standard drug price of ₱1 million. A portion of the seized material was burned on site; the remainder was retained for evidentiary use in charges against the suspects. The operation was led by newly appointed LSPPO Director Col. Caezar P. Cabuhat, who identified the targeted cultivator only by the alias "Rupug." During the on-site burning, gunshots were reported from south of the operation site; responding officers were unable to apprehend the unidentified shooter.
