POLICE arrested a 35-year-old suspected gunrunner in Barangay Cullianin in Plaridel, Bulacan, on Tuesday afternoon.

Provincial police director Col. Emma Libunao identified the suspect as Israel Jake Buhain.

Plaridel police led by Lt. Col. Victorino Valdez raided the house of the suspect around 2:30 p.m. They were armed with a search warrant issued by Judge Crisostomo Danguilan of Branch 21, Malolos City Regional Trial Court. They were accompanied by Barangay (Village) Chairman Crispin Sevilla. Seized from Buhain were five short firearms, replicas of long firearms, over 100 grams of suspected shabu and P160,840 cash. When arrested, Buhain was in the company of his 12-year-old daughter. “Definitely he is considered big-time and we will dig deeper into this as I believe he belongs to well organized crime groups,” Libunao said.
