The raid was conducted at Dorms 2, 5 and 9.

Dorm 2 is occupied by Sputnik, Commando Gangs, and Dorm 9 is occupied by Commando, Genuine Ilocano and Sputnik. On the other hand, Dorm 5 is occupied also by Sputnik and Commando.

Authorities also seized high-powered firearms, including a baby Armalite under a concrete stage at the back of Dorm 5.

“I think matagal nang nakatago yung mga firearms. It took years para maipon yun. Now lang natin nadi-discover. May mga information kasi na sa inmates din nanggaling,” BuCor Spokesman Msgr. Roberto Olaguer said.

Early this year, a grenade exploded at Dorm 5 where an inmate was killed and several others were injured. IDL/AC
