A 31-year-old man was arrested after he was found with a gun and a grenade inside a cockpit in Barangay Balintawak, Lipa City.
According to PLT Clint Adora, Chief of the Police Community Relations (PCR) and the Public Information Office (PIO) at the Lipa City Police Station, the man was flagged by a cockpit employee for not having the necessary paperwork for the firearm he was carrying.
The man was unable to produce the required documents so the employee called the police.
The suspect tried to flee but was apprehended quickly by responding officers.
"Saglit lang po siya sa sabungan, baka nakaramdam na may tumawag na pulis kaya po siya dali daling lumabas," Adora said.
The police are still investigating why the man brought the gun to the cockpit.
