Caloocan City — a 34-year-old man was arrested late evening of June 24, 2025, during a routine foot patrol conducted by personnel of Cadena de Amor Police Sub-Station 11, Caloocan City Police Station, after he was caught holding a loaded firearm in public.
The incident happened around 11:55 P.M. at Barangay 175, Camarin.
