POLICE have arrested a 40-year-old Chinese national for alleged possession of a gun and prohibited drugs inside a five-star hotel in Paranaque City.
The suspect, Wan Liang will be charged with violation of Republic Act 9165 (the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002), Batas Pambansa 881 (the Omnibus Election Code), and Republic Act 10591 (the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act).
The arrest happened last Sunday at Pearl Entry, Okada Manila, and Entertainment City in Barangay Tambo.
Upon seeing suspicious objects and substances on the X-ray scanning, on-duty physical security officer Jayson Casa alerted his supervisor, who in turn sought police assistance.
Responding policemen discovered a 45-caliber firearm with seven bullets, 1.7 grams of shabu, and two ecstasy tablets.
Southern Police District director Brig. Gen. Roderick Mariano said the foreigner was taken into custody and brought to the Tambo Substation for documentation pending filing of criminal charges against the suspect.
