From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 29, 2024): 2 gunrunners arrested, 3 high-powered guns seized in Cotabato City (By Edwin Fernandez)
COTABATO CITY – Police authorities arrested on Sunday afternoon two men suspected to be involved in gunrunning activities and seized from them illegal high-powered firearms.
Major Christopher Cabugwang, chief of the city police intelligence division, said the law enforcement operation was conducted after the police secured a search warrant against the suspects identified only as “Omar” and “Bobong.”
“The suspects had been placed under surveillance for a month before the 3 p.m. operation,” he said in a radio interview Monday.
The duo did not resist arrest when law enforcement officers showed up in their safe house in Barangay Poblacion 8, Cotabato City.
Cabugwang said Omar was arrested in 2022 for violation of the gun ban and again arrested in 2023 for violation of the illegal drugs law.
Police seized two rifles, including a Bushmaster rifle variant, a .45-caliber pistol, and hundreds of various ammunition.
