This was disclosed in the report of the 88th Infantry Battalion (88IB) Community Support Program (CSP) team immersed in the said barangay.
CSP reports also showed that the duo was conducting extortion activities involving construction companies that operate in the municipality of Cabanglasan and neighboring municipalities.
Confiscated in her possession were two units of caliber 45 pistol with steel magazines; a 12-gauge shotgun with a steel magazine; and nine cartridges of 7.62mm ammunition.
The successful joint AFP-PNP operation was spearheaded by Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Bukidnon; 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company; 12th Special Action Company; PIB Bukidnon; Cabanglasan MPS; and troops of 88IB through Search Warrant No. 8 dated 22 July 2020 issued by presiding judge Hon. Rainier Eusebio D. Aquino of Municipal Circuit Trial Court Lantapan-Cabanglasan, 10th Judicial Region in violation of RA 10591 or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
