ROUTINE TRAFFIC CHECK LEADS TO ARREST OF 14, SEIZURE OF ₱53.98-M SUSPECTED ILLICIT TO***CO HAUL IN CAVITE
A routine traffic enforcement activity in Cavite led to the discovery of a large shipment of suspected illicit to***co products, resulting in the arrest of 14 individuals and the seizure of items and vehicles with an estimated combined value of ₱53.98 million.
Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP),personnel of the PNP Highway Patrol Group Special Operations Division, in coordination with the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Cavite Provincial Field Unit, Ternate Municipal Police Station, and a private-sector partner, conducted the operation on October 7, 2026, along Governors Drive, Barangay Poblacion 1A, Ternate, Cavite.
The operation initially involved traffic enforcement and inspection of several vehicles. During the inspection, police personnel noticed boxes believed to contain to***co products, prompting immediate coordination with the CIDG for verification and further investigation.
The subsequent operation resulted in the recovery of 793 boxes of suspected illicit ci******es loaded in three closed vans, along with two other vehicles. The to***co products were initially estimated at ₱47.58 million, while the combined estimated value of the confiscated products and vehicles reached ₱53.98 million.
The final quantity and market value of the to***co products will be established through proper inventory and assessment by the Bureau of Customs.
The 14 arrested individuals, aged 22 to 50, are facing possible violations of Republic Act No. 9211, or the To***co Regulation Act of 2003; Republic Act No. 8424, or the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997; and Republic Act No. 10643, or the Graphic Health Warnings Law. They were informed of the nature of their arrest and apprised of their constitutional rights in a language known and understood by them.
Chief PNP Gen. Nartatez said the operation highlights how alertness and proper coordination can turn an ordinary police activity into an opportunity to address a larger concern.
“This is why we do not treat routine police work as just routine. Our personnel have to stay observant, know when something needs to be referred for further verification, and coordinate with the right units. Dito pumapasok ang proper judgment—firm action, but always within the law,” Gen. Nartatez said.
The operation forms part of the PNP's continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which calls for coordinated, responsive, and accountable police action. It likewise supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in strengthening enforcement against activities that affect lawful commerce, government revenues, and consumer protection.
The PNP assures the public that enforcement efforts against the illicit to***co trade will continue through lawful operations and close coordination with concerned government agencies and stakeholders. At the same time, the PNP reiterates that all arrested individuals are entitled to due process and that the allegations against them remain subject to judicial determination.
Through professional, coordinated, and accountable policing, the PNP continues to advance the Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.

MAN CAUGHT IN ENTRAPMENT FOR ALLEGEDLY POSING AS POLICE OFFICER
Under the leadership of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief, Philippine National Police (PNP), police operatives arrested a civilian who allegedly posed as a police officer and demanded money from a man in exchange for having his name removed from a supposed list of persons targeted for arrest.
The suspect, identified as a 27-year-old resident of Naga City, Camarines Sur, was arrested during an entrapment operation at Zone 1, Lerma, Naga City, at about 9:00 PM on October 7, 2026.
The operation was conducted by personnel of the Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group (IMEG), in coordination with police units in Camarines Sur and Naga City, following a complaint involving an alleged demand for ₱3,000.00
During the operation, authorities recovered a mobile phone, a replica fi***rm, several bottles of poppers, a police-type uniform jacket, empty shells, a belt bag, and documents believed to be related to the transaction.

The Chief PNP emphasized that police authority must always be exercised properly and within the law, as the PNP continues to strengthen accountability and professionalism in its ranks. The operation forms part of the PNP’s continuing implementation of its Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, which promotes responsive police action, proper coordination, and adherence to established procedures.

BROTHERS CAUGHT IN NUEVA ECIJA FI****MS BUY-BUST
The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested two siblings in a buy-bust operation that disrupted the alleged illicit sale and possession of fi***rms in Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija on October 6, 2026.
The operation was conducted by the CIDG Nueva Ecija Provincial Field Unit and Cabanatuan City Police Station in Barangay Valdefuente, resulting in the recovery of four fi***rms consisting of one M16 r***e, one caliber .45 pistol, one caliber .40 pistol, and one caliber .380 pistol, along with magazines and live am******on.
The younger sibling was arrested after allegedly transacting the sale of the M16 r***e, caliber .40 pistol, and caliber .380 pistol without the required documents and authority to possess or carry the fi***rms outside his residence. His older brother was separately apprehended after allegedly being found in possession of an unlicensed caliber .45 pistol.
The operation was conducted in connection with alleged violations of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Fi****ms and Am******on Regulation Act. The seized fi***rms, magazines, and am******on were secured for proper documentation and disposition, while appropriate charges are being prepared against the suspects.
“Illegal fi***rms have no place in the hands of individuals who intend to use them outside the bounds of the law. We will sustain focused police operations against the illegal acquisition, possession, and sale of fi***rms to prevent them from being used in criminal activities,” PGEN Nartatez said.
“Malaking bagay ang pagkakakumpiska sa mga baril na ito bago pa man magamit sa anumang krimen. Magsilbi itong babala sa mga nagbebenta at nag-iingat ng ilegal na armas na hindi sila makalulusot sa ating mga operasyon,” he added.
The operation likewise reflects the PNP Focused Agenda as a framework for transformation designed to make police service more responsive, accountable, and results-oriented. It directly supports the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations through focused enforcement against illegal fi***rms and other threats to public safety.
The arrest of the two suspects underscores the PNP’s sustained efforts to keep illegal fi***rms out of circulation and strengthen enforcement of the country’s fi***rms laws. As the PNP strengthens its campaign against the illegal possession and trafficking of fi***rms under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., the PNP assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

“We want fi***rm owners to do the right thing before a problem happens. Kapag maayos ang dokumento at ligtas ang pagkakasecure ng baril, mas mababa ang risk na ito ay mawala, mapunta sa maling kamay, o magamit sa krimen. This is a shared responsibility, and the police will continue to assist our communities in complying with the law,” PGen Nartatez said.
The PNP said it will sustain coordination and information efforts to encourage compliance with fi***rms regulations, as part of its commitment to a Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
