Lingayen police act versus dynamite
fishing
LINGAYEN -- A vigilant community is
still the police's best partner in combating crime.
This was proven true again with
the recent confiscation of 60 kilos of fish from
dynamite fishing on board a passenger bus traveling
through the town last September 25.
A police check point was set up
by the Lingayen police led by P/Inspectors John Corpuz
and Joseph Cruz shortly after they received a call with
the information that a cargo containing dynamited fish
aboard a passenger bus would pass through Lingayen town.
