Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte offers SUVs as reward to tipsters who will help authorities arrest drug dealers

GMA News Online reports that Davao City mayor Rodrigo Duterte is offering a sports utility vehicle (SUV) to anyone who can offer information leading to the dismantling of drug rings or the arrest of drug dealers operating in the city.

According to the report, Duterte was prompted to raise the stakes for the capture of big-time drug dealers after the police revealed that the methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) seized from a recent raid "appeared to be from abroad."

A separate report from Sun Star Davao said Duterte will be rewarding tipsters with either a Mitsubishi Montero Sport or Isuzu Crosswind.
