Cops nab 2 suspects, seize P6.5-M illegal LPG tanks in Pampanga
Authorities seized approximately P6.5 million worth of alleged illegal liquified petroleum gas (LPG) products and arrested two individuals in Angeles City.
The operation, conducted by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) at a refining plant in Barangay Cuayan, uncovered suspects refilling LPG tanks without authorization.
The arrested individuals, identified as "Anthony" and "Ruel," allegedly repainted the LPG tanks to conceal the original brand markings before selling them.
Various equipment, including LPG storage tanks, a lorry tank, refilling apparatus, weighing scales, and sales receipts, were also confiscated during the operation.
The suspects face charges for violating Republic Act 623 (regulating marked containers) as amended by RA 5700, and Republic Act 8293 (the Intellectual Property Code).
