Authorities arrested five people in a buy-bust operation in Bataan over the alleged sale of fake LPG, police said.
In Mariveles, Bataan, operatives raided a store suspected of selling tampered LPG cylinders. A poseur buyer was able to purchase a cylinder later found to have a fake seal.
Authorities seized hundreds of LPG cylinders, a delivery truck loaded with tampered containers, and equipment used for refilling, resealing, and repainting. The total value of the confiscated items was estimated at about P4.5 million.
The five suspects are set to face charges. They have not issued any statement.
