SPO1 Edgar Causon said they raided the place after receiving a report about an armed person in the area.

Causon said they were walking towards the inner part of Mananga 2 when they met Jimenez who upon seeing them, allegedly attempted to pull out the handgun which was tucked in his waist.

The man was allegedly with a friend only known as “Alex” who quickly ran away and evaded arrest.

Shortly after Jimenez’s arrest, Causon’s group accosted Rusalo Jenobiagon, 18, also of the same place.

Jenobiagon was allegedly tucking a seven-inch knife in his waist during the arrest.
