00:00 Two military reservists who are said to be involved in the illegal sale of guns and bullets were escorted to the news center from Bien Manalo.
00:09 This man is nowhere to be found and the operatives of the Southern Police District were arrested in Alabang, Muntinlupa City at 8 in the morning yesterday.
00:24 The man, known as Ivan, was the leader of the Sgt. Ivan Gun Running Group who were escorted to the illegal sale of guns and bullets in the southern part of Manila.
00:36 We have a confidential informant who said that there is a group operating in the southern area that is gun running their work. So they found a way to contact our targets.
00:55 The operatives were arrested and the two boxes containing 2,000 pieces of bullets were confiscated.
01:05 Aside from Sgt. Ivan, another member of the group, known as Daryl, was also arrested and tried to escape from the authorities.
01:16 Sgt. Daryl was able to recover some high caliber guns and bullets.
01:22 The suspects we got were PA's, private agents, security personnel, VIPs, businessmen.
01:34 Based on what our informant said, they were also reservists. It is not yet confirmed since we have not yet validated our identity to our counterparts if they are really from our allied agencies.
01:52 The high driver, known as Ivan, was also with the arrested suspects. But the police are still investigating if this is related to the illegal operation of the suspects.
02:03 In total, the amount of guns and bullets that were fired on the suspects amount to more than P240,000.
02:12 The police are also looking for any conspiracy against Daryl that is being carried out in the city of Manila because of the translation.
02:21 Since we caught a target in Manila during the time of the translation, which is, we know that they declared a gun ban in Manila at that time.
02:33 So we are still verifying if he will be allowed to enter the city.
02:36 Meanwhile, we tried to get the list of suspects but they refused to give their statement.
02:44 The police are now in custody of the suspects who will be facing the case of illegal possession of firearms while the authorities continue their investigation of other possible members of the group.
02:56 BN Manalo, for the people.
