Renan Gabayeron, 43, was collared at his home in NHA Village, Barangay Bacjawan Sur, Concepcion, around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Members of Concepcion Police Station and the Iloilo Maritime Police Station conducted the operation by virtue of Search Warrant No. 2021-10 issued by Judge Oscar Leo S Billena of Regional Trial Court Branch 66 in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo.
Recovered was a 12-gauge homemade shotgun with three ammunition.
Police also seized replicas of caliber .45 pistol and .9mm pistols.
Major Ronnie Brillo, Concepcion police chief, said the suspect has been the subject of several complaints in the barangay as he was often seen brandishing his firearm.
At times, he also allegedly fired his gun.
“There were also reports that he was selling guns,” Brillo said.
Gabayeron failed to show valid permits for his guns. He is now detained and will be charged for violation of Republic Act 10591 or (Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act).
