But, Labrado just uses the revolver to intimidate the law enforcement officer and flee his infraction. As a result, the enforcer reported the event to the police right away.
Labrador was cornered on Mangga Street in the city’s Barangay Rizal. According to the report, a caliber.45 loose pistol was seized from the suspect, and the serial number had been tampered with.
Along with the unlawful handgun, authorities seized shabu, an illicit substance found on his motorcycle. The illegal substances weigh 120 grams and are valued at more than P800,000 each.
The suspect was also discovered with kush or high-grade marijuana weighing more than 25 grams and worth more than P36,000. A police inquiry discovered that the rifle was given to Labrador by a buddy for his safety.
It is also claimed that the suspect was unaware that the contents of the box he was supposed to deliver contained drugs. Labrador is being charged with violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act and illegally possessing guns.
