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.
