COTABATO CITY-Government forces in Maguindanao province on Sunday arrested a man wanted for illegal drug peddling and seized high-powered firearms from him, military reports on Monday said.
Capt. John Arvin Encinas, spokesperson of the 6th Infantry Division, said Mike Diocolano, 49, a resident of Barangay Marquez in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao, did not resist arrest after policemen and soldiers from the 19th Infantry Battalion served a warrant to search his house.
The government team found three rifles, a shotgun, two pistols, four rifle grenades, handheld radio and bullets in Diocolano’s possession.
He was taken to the police’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Group regional headquarters in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao for tactical interrogation. RJLA/rga
