P/Sr. Insp. Joseph Tayaban of the Badoc police reported seized items include different types of long and small firearms, various live ammunitions, and gun-making equipment. The Badoc police is still assessing the estimated worth of the confiscated items.

The police used a search warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Judge Nida Alejandro of Branch 12, Laoag City.
