POLICE SEIZE FI****MS, AMMUNITION IN ANTIQUE SEARCH OPERATION
Authorities confiscated five fi****ms of different calibers, assorted ammunition, and several empty cartridges during a search warrant operation in Barangay Batonan Sur, Culasi, Antique, on February 28, 2025, at 2:05 p.m.
Police Brigadier General Jack L. W***y, director of the Police Regional Office in Western Visayas (PRO 6), praised the Antique Police Provincial Office and its subordinate units for their efforts against loose fi****ms.
“This accomplishment is very laudable. Seizing these fi****ms is a way to deny the opportunities of using these in committing a crime. We always ensure that communities are safe and secure, thus our endeavor against loose fi****ms remains aggressive,” W***y said.
He also urged individuals in possession of undocumented fi****ms to surrender them to the nearest police station.
The Antique Police Provincial Office led the operation, resulting in the arrest of Den, 44, a resident of the area. The search warrant was issued by the Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court, Sixth Judicial Region, Branch 13, Culasi, Antique, on February 25, 2025.
Recovered items include:
- Two caliber .38 revolvers
- One caliber .45 pistol
- One 12-gauge shotgun
- One improvised rifle-type shotgun
- One magazine for a caliber .45 pistol
- Assorted ammunition
- Assorted empty shells of different calibers
The Culasi Municipal Police Station, supported by the 2nd Antique Provincial Mobile Force Company, carried out the operation.
The suspect is in police custody and will face charges of violating Republic Act 10591, the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Ammunition Regulation Act of 2013.
