MAGUINDANAO, Philippines — High-powered firearms and an anti-tank rocket were recovered from a former police officer in Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao on Tuesday. 

Personnel of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and regional police arrested Allan Esmael and his companion Suharto Mangacop following a raid on their hideout in Barangay Crossing Simuay.

The raid was based on a search warrant issued by Cotabato City Regional Trial Court Branch 13 Judge Bansawan Ibrahim.
