Mayoral bet yields 6 guns in Isabela

>> Monday, April 26, 2010

STO. TOMAS, Isabela — Six high-powered firearms were seized in this town by police Tuesday from the house of mayoral candidate and retired prosecutor Renato Garcia Thursday.

Senior Supt. Jimmy Rivera, provincial police chief said the search conducted at Garcia’s house yielded two M-16 baby Armalite rifles; two.45- caliber pistols and two.38- caliber revolvers.

Rivera said the search was covered by a warrant issued by the court, following the testimony of Noel Arellano, an alleged wanted person from Ilocos Sur, who reportedly worked for Garcia.

Documents covering the firearms are now subject to investigation with charges set to be filed against the mayoral bet, said Rivera. – Dexter A. See
