A former member of the New People's Army was arrested yesterday by a combined team of Regional Intelligence Unit 6 and local police in
Supt. Joresty Coronica, Talisay City
On Tuesday, a barangay chairman, who survived a massacre in
2011, surrendered an M16 assault rifle and two homemade shotguns with
ammunition to the Philippine Army and police Special Action Force in Silay City
Supt. Rosauro Francisco, Silay City police chief, said
yesterday that the three firearms and 45 ammunition of Elisco M16 rifle with
serial number RP 18642, and 12 gauge shotgun have already been turned over to
the PNP Crime Laboratory for ballistic examinations.
Francisco said a combined team of Army and SAF troopers were
conducting a joint operation in Brgy. Kapitan Ramon and neighboring areas in Silay City
However, it has not yet been determined who are the owners
of the guns surrendered by Celebre.
Celebre survived the March 6, 2011 massacre of Kapitan Ramon
barangay officials, that perpetrated by former Punong Barangay Noel Ayalin, who
is now serving a jail term of 240 years for murder and frustrated murder
charges.
Meanwhile, Coronica said the arrest of Canieso was made
after the combined team of RIU 6 operatives and his men raided the suspect's
residence in Hacienda Catamnan 2, Brgy. Concepcion ,
Talisay City
Coronica said that complaints have been aired against
Canieso for possession of the firearms.
Francisco also reiterated his call for owners of licensed
firearms, who failed to renew their licenses, to deposit their guns at the
Silay City Police Station, while they are renewing their licenses.
Since January, the Silay police has accounted for 11
unlicensed firearms, and their owners are now facing charges for their illegal
possession.
