LUCENA CITY –– Police arrested 209 suspected criminals and confiscated about P1.6 million worth of illegal drugs in weeklong synchronized operations in Batangas province.

Colonel Rex Arvin Malimban, Batangas police chief, said in a report Wednesday that 88 drug suspects were collared in simultaneous anti-criminality law enforcement operations (Sacleo) from March 22 to 26.
