MANILA, Philippines–For bringing a loaded firearm in his luggage, an American national was held at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) Terminal 3 on Thursday morning.
Ray Moyer, 69, was arrested by Philippine National Police’s Aviation Security Group after authorities found a loaded .22 caliber in the check-in luggage.
Chief Superintendent Christopher Laxa, PNP Avsegroup chief, told Inquirer.net by the phone that Moyer was about to board Delta Airlines flight DL 276 bound for Narita, Japan.
Laxa said the handgun was detected when security personnel checked Moyer’s bag through the airport’s X-ray scanner.
He was then transferred to the Avsegroup intelligence and investigation division for questioning.
