Davao City cops arrest couple who used daughter as drug courier
Davao City police over the weekend arrested a couple who allegedly used their daughter as a drug courier.
Jo and Nazer Benito in Barangay Lizada in the city's Toril district Sunday during follow-up operations, GMA Davao reported Monday.
"Ginagawa nilang tagahatid yung anak niyang babae, pag may bumibili sa kanya ng drugs, laya yun. Nagkaroon tayo ng operation," said Toril police head Senior Inspector Hamlet Lerios.
Jo admitted using her daughter because the minor could not be charged. Nazer, however, insisted he did not know of this.
When a GMA News team asked Jo why she used her daughter in her transactions, she said, "'Yan lang kasi ang pinagkakakitaan namin."
Police have brought the girl to the city social welfare office, while the couple now faces charges for violating the Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. — Joel Locsin/JDS, GMA News
