A MAN and a woman were arrested in a joint anti-illegal gambling operation conducted by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and\u00a0\u00a0the local police at the Victoria Public Market in Tarlac.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to \u00a0CIDG Regional Field Unit 3 chief Col. Grant Gollod, the first operation was conducted under Oplan Bolilyo in Bgy. San Gavino, Victoria, Tarlac on June 11.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CIDG Tarlac Provincial Field Unit led by Lt. Col. Arvin Hosmillo, in coordination with the Victoria police, arrested suspects alias \u201cAton,\u201d 34, of Bgy. Sta. Barbara; and alias \u201cEdylyn,\u201d 44, of Bgy. Bangar, both residents of Victoria, Tarlac.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two suspects were caught while allegedly soliciting and accepting bets for an illegal numbers game commonly known as \u201cSTL bookies.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Investigators said both suspects were registered Small Town Lottery (STL) sales agents or \u201ccubradores\u201d but allegedly used their legitimate authorization as a cover to conduct unauthorized betting operations outside the official system of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), a government agency overseeing lottery operations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Confiscated from the suspects were alleged betting paraphernalia, including unauthorized \u201cpapelito\u201d betting slips, ballpens, cash collections, and marked money used during the operation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CIDG RFU3 said the operation stemmed from information provided by a concerned citizen regarding ongoing illegal gambling activity in the area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charges for violation of PD 1602, as amended by RA 9287, were being prepared for filing before the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor in Tarlac City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The CIDG RFU3, operating under the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, reiterated its continuing campaign against illegal gambling, in coordination with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office(PCSO), and local police units.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
