DOJ orders filing of criminal raps vs Bigcas
Posted: 2013-May-20 | 11.56.12 UTC +0800
The Department of Justice has ordered the filing of illegal possession of firearms and ammunition against alleged car smuggler and businessman Lynard Allan Bigcas.
In a four-page resolution approved by Prosecutor General Claro A. Arellano, the DOJ found enough evidence against Bigcas for violation of Section 1 of Presidential Decree No. 1866 as amended by Republic Act No. 8294 or illegal possession of firearms, ammunition or explosives.
Bigcas was allegedly involved in smuggling activities after he has admitted that he has no deed of sale for the Martin Brothers Harley Davidson motorcycle of Hollywood scriptwriter Skip Woods.
The said motorcycle was stolen from Woods in Houston, Texas.
He has shown deeds of sale for vehicles that authorities seized from his properties in Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro City, except for the motorcycle in question.
In the current case of illegal possession of firearms, the DOJ has found probable cause to file charges against Bigcas before the Cagayan de Oro City Regional Trial Court for the crime has been committed and he is probably guilty thereof.
The case arose from the complaint filed by the National Bureau of Investigation in Northern Mindanao after the seizure of one piece of magazine for M16 rifle and 16 pieces of live ammunition for the M16 rifle, among others, from Bigcas' two residences in Barangay Talakag, Bukidnon and Barangay Kauswagan, Cagayan de Oro City.
The NBI and the Bukidnon Provincial Police Office with the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided in May 2011 Bigcas's houses by virtue of a search warrant issued by a judge.
Agents recovered a shotgun and assorted ammunition during the raid.
Likewise seized were imported luxury cars and motorcycles at a warehouse owned by Bigcas' relatives in Talakag, Bukidnon.
Also seized were an imported car and a personalized big bike owned by Hollywood scriptwriter Skip Woods, which was allegedly stolen in Houston, Texas a few years ago.
Bigcas is also facing a smuggling case before the City Prosecutor's Office of Cagayan de Oro City and has been out on bail.
In indicting Bigcas, the DOJ said "there is probable cause that [he] had been unlawfully possessing the subject ammunition."
"[A] private individual may be authorized to possess one long and one short firearm at the same time. But long firearm, such an M16 rifle, is generally allowed only for military men," the DOJ resolution said. - PNA
