The suspects were apprehended after reportedly negotiating the sale of illegal firearms to undercover operatives.

Recovered from the suspects were several high-powered firearms, including rifles and ammunition, which are now under police custody for further examination.
Authorities are also verifying whether the seized firearms were involved in any criminal activities.
The arrested police officer is currently under the custody of PRO 11’s Regional Personnel Holding and Accounting Unit, while the security manager faces separate administrative and criminal charges.
Investigators are now tracing the source of the weapons and possible connections to larger gun-running operations in Mindanao.
PBGen Arguelles emphasized that the Philippine National Police remains committed to maintaining integrity within its ranks.
“This operation serves as a warning that any law enforcer involved in illegal acts will face the full extent of the law,” he said.
