Recovered at the scene were one caliber 9mm Armscor with a magazine and live ammunition, four empty fired cartridge cases, four pieces heat-sealed transparent plastic sachet with suspected shabu, and the two P1,000 marked money.Police Col. Erwin Sanque, Tarlac provincial director, said their untiring efforts to eliminate all forms of illegal activities continue. He added they continue to invigorate their anti-criminality campaign to ensure public safety and maintain peace and order in Tarlac.
