The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), under the leadership of PBGEN ANTHONY A ABERIN, Acting Regional Director, successfully carried out an entrapment operation in Muntinlupa City. The operation led to the arrest of two individuals involved in the illegal fi****ms trade and the confiscation of high-powered weapons and ammunition.
At approximately 3:50 PM on December 14, 2024, operatives from the Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) NCRPO initiated the operation in Barangay Poblacion, Muntinlupa City.
