KIDAPAWAN CITY -- A father and his son were arrested last week when police raided an illegal gun factory in the town of Antipas, North Cotabato, belated reports said.
Operatives of the anti-vice division of the Cotabato provincial police office also seized assorted firearms in the raid Monday last week, according to Insp. Jose Calimutan, chief of the intelligence and anti-vice division.
The suspects were identified as Eduardo Gallargo Sr. and his son Eduardo Jr. Both are now detained at the police’s provincial detention cell at Barangay Amas here.
The raiding team were armed with a search warrant signed by Judge Rogelio Narisma, of Regional Trial Court Branch 23, Calimutan said over DXND Radio for Peace.
The raiding team was able to seize two caliber .22 revolvers, two 20-gauge shotguns, a long 20-gauge shotgun, a short 12-gauge shotgun, a caliber .45 pistol and a Thompson rifle.
Assorted ammunitions were also confiscated from the factory, as well as several machines used in the manufacture of illegal firearms and ammunitions.
The Gallargos are now facing charges for the illegal manufacture of firearms and ammunitions.
Calimutan said their office is now waiting for the commitment order from the Kidapawan City prosecutor's office for the transfer of the suspects to the Cotabato Provincial Jail.
