ROXAS CITY, Capiz— A 35-year-old person was arrested for alleged gunrunning in an entrapment operation at Brgy. Baybay here Thursday afternoon.

Recovered from Anonat were a caliber 9mm pistol with 50 live ammunitions, a long-barreled shotgun with 10 live ammunitions, cellphones, and the fake money used as marked bills.
