CEBU – The Task Force Motorcycle of the city police arrested two men on the evening of All Saints Day, one for illegal possession of unlicensed gun and the other for possession of shabu paraphernalia.

The team, led by SPO1 Filomeno Mendaros went to barangay Suba after receiving information that Miguel Viras Jr., 31, a resident of the barangay, was hiding there or in neighboring barangay Pasil.
