However, while the taxi was traversing Kennon Road, the driver claimed to have heard a cocking of a gun from the backseat.

The driver made an alibi that he had to check his flat tire. When he got down from the taxi, it was then he discreetly confirmed that one of his passengers was carrying a gun.

Trusting his instincts, the taxi driver was said to have driven his taxi once again, made a U-turn towards the QCP border checkpoint, and sought help from the police officers there.

This resulted in the confiscation of a piece of Cal 9mm pistol and the arrest of the 5 passengers. All the suspects were brought to Kennon Road Police Station.
