4 alleged fake plate sellers nabbed in Bulacan
Authorities arrest four suspects in San Ildefonso, Bulacan for allegedly selling fake license plates, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) said on Tuesday.
In a statement, LTO said authorities conducted the operation on Saturday after confirming information about the illegal activity.
'We immediately coordinated with the CIDG to conduct an operation against these people, and this resulted in their arrest and the confiscation of the fake plates,' LTO chief Assistant Secretary Greg Pua said.
'We laud the LTO-Investigation and Intelligence Division headed by Renante Melitante and our partners in the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group for this successful operation,' he added.
Seized from the suspects were the marked money, 51 pieces of fake plates, printing machines, computer units, a machine press, four cutting machines, a vinyl reflectorized film, a hole machine, 14 pieces of tray of acrylic letters, three acrylic borders, and a cold laminate machine.
These confiscated items are worth P400,000.
The suspects are now under the custody of the CIDG. They are facing cases for violations of the Presidential Decree 1730 as well as for imitation and false representations involving license plates under the Land Transportation and Traffic Code.
'We assure the public na hindi titigil ang inyong LTO para matigil ang mga ganitong klaseng iligal na gawain,' Pua said.
