Masbate City cops net 4 armed men in checkpoint

From the Philippine News Agency (May 8): Masbate City cops net 4 armed men in checkpoint

Elements of Masbate City Police Station arrested four armed men in a random checkpoint at about 9:15 p.m. Saturday at crossing Barangay Bantigue, Masbate City.

Police Chief Insp. Arthur Gomez, Special Task Force-Masbate spokesperson, said the police officers flagged down a white-colored van bearing plate number XRW 514 and found Jerry G. Senit of Barangay Ibingay, Masbate City; Jupiter C. Torres, Ronnie M. Briol and Dave B. Leyte -- all of Masbate City -- in possession of two Ingram machine pistols with inserted magazine, 11 bullets of 9MM gun in one long magazine, other bullets in one long magazine, other magazine with 27 bullets and one converted revolver loaded with five pieces of caliber 5.56 ammunition.

The police also handcuffed Dhan Valenzuela, a resident of Masbate City, who was on board a red Bajaj motorcycle without plate number and who disregarded the established checkpoint.

Valenzuela is believed to be the spotter of the group, Gomez said.
