According to C./Insp Elizabeth Jasmin, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group arrested PFC Dennis Cardenas of the Army 19th Infantry Battalion, Roel Fumar, and Lenelito Liporada in sting operations in Jaro and Palo towns before noon on Saturday.
The suspects had been under police surveillance for two weeks.
According to reports from regional police, the CIDG recovered nine cal.45 pistols, three .38 caliber revolvers, and a .357 revolver.
