Text size
Personnel of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) intercepted yesterday 46 units of cal. 45 pistols with magazines while conducting patrol on two rolling cargo vessels bound for Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte.
The vessels came from the Samboan ferry port in Cebu last July 14.
The illegal firearms and ammunitions were confiscated from three suspects, namely Velino C. Cubol, Flora Mae R. Cubol and Maria Bella A. Manot, all residents of Barangay Suba, Danao City, Cebu.
The firearms and bullets were turned over to PNP Samboan for appropriate legal action.
The suspects are now in police custody and will be charged with violation of Sec. 28, Art. V, of R.A. 10591, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Act.
The PCG intensified its operations against possible illegal movement of firearms from the Visayas to Mindanao based on the directive of PCG Commandant Admiral Elson Hermogino.
Hermogino ordered his men to cut the supply of firearms to lawless elements and terrorists groups operating in Southern Philippines.
