Undocumented firearms seized in Cotabato
Camp Navarro, Calarian, Zamboanga City – April 22, 2022
Soldiers apprehended a tricycle driver and seized three high-powered firearms (HPFAs) in a checkpoint operation in Midsayap, Cotabato Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
Maj. Gen. Juvymax Uy, Commander of Joint Task Force Central said that troops of the 34th Infantry Battalion received a report from a concerned citizen that a red tricycle transporting high-powered firearms will traverse the Datu Piang-Nabalawag road going towards Midsayap proper. In response to the report, personnel from the Kapinpilan Temporary Patrol Base immediately conducted an intensive movement control operation in Barangay Kapinpilan, of the same municipality.
At about 4:15 in the afternoon, operating troops intercepted the tricycle driven by a certain Avier Amal, 28 years old and a resident of Barangay Damatulan, of the same municipality. Upon inspection, troops found three HPFAs without any pertinent documents. This prompted the troops to apprehend the driver and confiscate the HPFAs.
Confiscated firearms include one M653 carbine and two M14 rifles. Troops also confiscated the tricycle with plate number: 1201-283787. The confiscated items and apprehended personality were brought to Headquarters, 34IB in Barangay Salunayan, Midsayap for further investigation.
“Our troops are intensifying their operations against loose firearms, especially during the election period. We extend our appreciation to the concerned citizen who fed us with the information and we urge everyone to do the same. Let us help one another to prevent anyone to spoil our anticipated peaceful election.” Lt. Gen. Alfredo Rosario, Commander of Western Mindanao Command said.
