The operation was announced by Valenzuela Mayor Wes Gatchalian and was based on surveillance following the arrest of another online seller.
Police identified the suspects as 'Chippie,' 44, and 'Kaye,' 40, who were apprehended in their residence.
Operatives seized 391 fake government IDs, including PhilHealth, SSS, UMID, TIN, and driver's licenses, along with forging tools and a printer.
