A team of joint operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) in Negros Oriental, the Philippine National Police’s Provincial Intelligence Bureau-Special Operations Group, and the Bacong Municipal Station seized early Monday morning a cache of firearms and ammunition from a suspect who remains at large.

An initial police report said that the joint team served a search warrant against subject Roberto Morito Alabastro for violation of Republic Act 10591 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act around 6:30 a.m. Monday at the man’s residence in Barangay Combado, Bacong town.

During the search, the operatives confiscated one .357 caliber Smith and Wesson revolver colored black with serial number w000529; four live and unfired ammunitions for .38 caliber revolver, one 12- gauge shotgun (homemade); one piece magazine for 12-gauge shotgun;
three live and unfired ammo for 12-gauge shotgun; one Colt .45 caliber pistol, government model, with serial number 597528; one piece magazine for .45 caliber, and; seven live and unfired ammos for .45 caliber.

Bacong police chief Sr. Insp. Elpidio Tagoan, Jr. disclosed the suspect remains at large although appropriate charges will be filed against him in court.

Acting provincial police director Sr. Supt. Edwin Portento clarified that the service of a search warrant can be done even if the subject is not around.

Portento believes that Alabastro must have sensed the coming of the law enforcers and left before they arrived. (PNA)
