00:00While the New Year celebrations are getting closer and closer,
00:04the authorities are also catching more and more people
00:07who are selling illegal products online,
00:10including a man who was found in Tarlac.
00:14Ryan Nasig is at the center of the news.
00:19What he said is that it's an addition to their preparations for Christmas Eve.
00:26According to our law,
00:29it's not a good reason for us to do illegal activities.
00:34Instead of a wife and child,
00:36this man and his accomplices are in a cold prison in Nochebuena
00:41after the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group arrested them in Tarlac
00:45for selling illegal products.
00:48The money will be taken by the suspect
00:51in exchange for the illegal products being sold by PNP-ACG and PENOSASAN.
01:04The suspect's wife was unable to do anything but cry.
01:08According to PNP-ACG spokesperson,
01:10Police Lieutenant Walen May Arancilio,
01:12the suspect's modus was booked
01:14because of the alleged cyber-patrolling of the authorities
01:17because of the illegal products being sold online.
01:21The suspect sent an advertisement
01:23that he was being sold firecrackers.
01:27Our cyber-cops engaged with them
01:30and we found out that the suspect was being sold illegal firecrackers.
01:35He also did not have a registered permit from the BFP,
01:41City Hall, or BIR.
01:44When they engaged, they agreed for a meet-up.
01:59Since he used information and communications technology
02:04to do illegal activities
02:06or the selling of illegal firecrackers was done online,
02:11the punishment will be heavier
02:14compared to the traditional crime.
02:17The penalty will be 1 degree higher.
02:21That's 6 years and 1 day to 12 years imprisonment.
02:25Since December 6,
02:27PNP-ACG has carried out 7 operations
02:30where 5 people were arrested.
02:3223,000 illegal firecrackers were recovered
02:37and counted by King Kong, Cabase, Goodbye Philippines, and many more.
02:42This is just the beginning of the new year.
02:45PNP-Anti-Cyber-Crime Group will continue patrolling online
02:50so that the illegal firecrackers will not be sold.
02:54According to the authorities,
02:56the firecrackers were purchased from licensed stores.
