OPERATIVES of the Manila Police District (MPD) arrested two individuals in separate operations on Friday, October 9, 2026, for separate violations of Republic Act No. 10591, or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
In the first operation, elements of the Barbosa Police Station (PS-14) Warrant Section nabbed a top-most wanted person along Quezon Boulevard corner Gonzalo Puyat Street in Quiapo at around 12:30 PM.
The suspect was identified as 22-year-old helper alias “Reynald,” ranked as the station level’s Top 5 Most Wanted Person.
Operatives led by PLT Bienvenido O. Cinco Jr., under the supervision of Station Commander PLTCOL Rexson Gonzales Layug, successfully served an alias warrant of arrest issued by Presiding Judge Ryan Philipp Liao Bartolome of the Regional Trial Court Metro Manila Branch 30.
The warrant stems from a violation of Section 28(A) in relation to Section 28(E)(I) of R.A. 10591, with a recommended bail of ₱120,000.
Alias “Reynald” is currently detained at the Barbosa Police Station custodial facility pending court turnover.
Meanwhile, officers from the Sampaloc Police Station (PS-4) arrested a 65-year-old retired military doctor following a reported gun-toting incident along Blumentritt Street.
The suspect, identified as alias “Allyson,” was cornered by responding officers from the Calabash Police Community Precinct (PCP) after a concerned citizen reported the incident at around 9:55 AM.
Accompanied by barangay officials, authorities engaged alias “Allyson” in a peaceful dialogue, leading to his voluntary surrender.
Police confiscated an M1A1 Carbine, caliber .30 semi-automatic rifle from the suspect after he failed to present legal documents for the firearm.
Following a medical checkup at Ospital ng Sampaloc, the suspect was detained at the Sampaloc Police Station pending inquest proceedings for firearms law violations before the Manila Prosecutor’s Office.
The recovered weapon has been scheduled for ballistic examination at the PNP Crime Laboratory.
