The operation also led to the arrest of Harold Garcia, 41, a resident of Bago City; and Nellyn Irish Angela Cabrales, 33, a resident of La Carlota, City.

The operatives also recovered an improvised shotgun and three shotgun shells with live ammunition.
The police said Garcia was identified as a high-value individual in Bacolod City. He was under surveillance for almost a month before his arrest.
