CIDG men seize 27 high-powered guns from Camarines Sur village chief

From the Philippine News Agency (May 7): CIDG men seize 27 high-powered guns from Camarines Sur village chief
 
Operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Bicol confiscated at least 27 high-powered firearms in a raid at about 6 a.m. Saturday at a residence of a village chieftain in Barangay San Nicolas, Iriga City, a CIDG official said in a report to CIDG Director Victor P. Deona.

The CIDG team seized the firearms during the operation at the house of Barangay Captain Ariel Luceña, who, however, was able to elude arrest, according to Police Senior Supt. Marlon Tejada, CIDG Bicol chief.

Tejada said his men are now tracking down Luceña who has been tagged as the leader of the 10-man Luceña private armed group (PAGs) operating in Iriga City.

He said the raid yielded eight assault rifles and 19 handguns kept in the suspect’s home and car.

Tejada said the suspect has been a subject of a manhunt operation before the raid as his group was included in the PAG watchlist.
