CITY OF CALAPAN – Criminal complaints have been filed before the provincial prosecutor’s office in Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro against a police officer tagged in a foiled robbery attempt and gun ban violation.
Police Corporal Leonell Maranan, 31, assigned at the Technical Support Company, Regional Mobile Force Battalion 4B, was arrested by village watchmen of Barangay (village) Sta. Maria in Gloria town on Friday, Feb. 18, at about 10 p.m. after he allegedly entered a hardware supply store and tried to rob it.
Police Major Edwin Villarba, Gloria police chief, said they have filed cases of attempted robbery and violation of Omnibus Election Code (Batas Pambansa 881) for gun ban violation against Maranan as he failed to present an exemption certificate.

The administrative complaints against Maranan will be for the Philippine National Police (PNP) Internal Affairs Service Oriental Mindoro to resolve.
