HULI ang dalawang pinaniniwalaang gambling kingpin matapos salakayin ng Regional Special Operations Group (SOG) ng Police Regional Office ng Region 3 (PRO3) ang umano’y iligal na e-sabong operation sa Bulacan nitong nakaraang lingo.

Ayon kay PBGen, Jess Mendez, Regional Director ng PRO3, agad na kumilos ang mga awtoridad matapos makatanggap ng impormasyon tungkol sa ilegal na operasyon sa MRS cockpit arena sa Brgy. Malimpang, San Ildefonso.

Sa isinagawang operasyon, 14 pang katao ang naaresto at tatlong baril ang nakumpiska matapos umanong ipasok ng ilang sabu ngero sa loob ng sabungan sa kabila ng mahigpit na pagbabawal.
