Arms cache recovered in Compostela Valley

From the Philippine News Agency (Aug 7): Arms cache recovered in Compostela Valley

Troopers from the 46th and 71st Infantry Battalions have recovered an arms cache during operations in Purok 4, Barangay Elizalde, Maco town, Compostela Valley Province Wednesday night.

This took place 9: 30 p.m., Capt. Ernest Carolina, 10th Infantry Division spokesperson, said in a message to the PNA.

The alleged owner of the arms cache was a certain Allan "Em-Em" Monticalvo.

Recovered were four M-16A-1 automatic rifles, an M-653 rifle and two AK-47 automatic rifles.

The arms cache was discovered after a man was seen entering Monticalvo's house through a hole in the wall.

Carolina added that the latter has no business storing these weapons as he is a civilian.

Appropriate charges are now being prepared against Monticalvo.
