LEGAZPI CITY — Twenty-four violators were arrested in separate operations by the Philippine National Police Regional Office 5 (PNP-PRO5) during the first weekend of April.
The PNP-PRO5’s daily accomplishment report showed that from 6 a.m. on Saturday (April 5) to 5:59 a.m. on Sunday (April 6), the PNP launched 15 operations against illegal drugs, illegal gambling, loose firearms, and wanted persons.
Six anti-illegal drug operations led to the arrest of six persons, who yielded 1.3 grams of marijuana and 56.73 grams of shabu (crystal meth) worth of P385,920. This is higher than the P39,304 worth of only 5.78 grams of shabu confiscated on Saturday.
Meanwhile, a most wanted person was arrested while five other wanted individuals were captured in five operations under the PNP’s “Manhunt Charlie.”
Two anti-gambling operations captured 12 violators in almost 24 hours.
Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing election gun ban, a report shows that two operations resulted to the recovery of an explosive and the confiscation of a firearm. Karl Ian Morissey Ramos Inquirer intern
