A suspected illegal logger who had been arrested some time ago for cutting a tree in Panganiban eluded a team of policemen and government agents in San Miguel town last week.
Freddie Tevar Teaño, a Balatohan who is in his mid-40s, was positively identified by personnel of the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) in barangay Siay during the Feb. 10, 2020 raid but he managed to escape upon noticing the presence of the lawmen.
The team confiscated a Stihl chainsaw with defaced serial number as well as a log already set for processing.
