A Chinese national was arrested by Parañaque police Wednesday for illegal possession of firearms.

The suspect was identified as alias Yiju and will be facing charges for violation of RA 10591 for possession of an unlicensed firearm.

The arrest took place at approximately 10:30 p.m. on 16 January, at a village in Barangay Moonwalk, Parañaque City.

The case has been referred to the Investigation and Detection Management Section for the proper filing of complaints through an inquest proceeding to the City Prosecutor›s Office in Parañaque City.
