Armed man nabbed

A 43-year-old man was arrested after he was found carrying a firearm during a saturation drive in barangay Poblacion Oriental, Consolacion town, northern Cebu, last Saturday night.

A .9mm pistol with five bullets was allegedly recovered from Edgardo Castillo.

Police said Castillo was one of the men frisked by police while they were having a drinking session inside a videoke house around 10 p.m.

Castillo was brought to the town police precinct after failing to present papers authorizing him to carry a gun.

Police said they would verify at the Firearms Explosives Security Agencies and Guards Supervision if the firearm was licensed./CORRESPONDENT RHEA RUTH V. ROSELL
