Two Taiwanese were arrested Thursday morning after they were found selling liquor without a business permit at a store in Malate, Manila.
Police identified the suspects as Wei-Min Tung, 30, and Yuping Fan, 30, both residents of Malate.
Elements of the Manila Police District-Special Mayor’s Reaction Team (MPD-SMaRT) and the Manila Bureau of Permit and Licensing led the operation against the suspects at 11:30 a.m.
Investigation showed that the two Taiwanese continued operating their store despite receiving a cease-and-desist order in November 2019 and a closure order in March 2020, both issued by the Manila Health Department (MHD).
Twelve boxes of beer and some vegetable products were recovered from the store.
Police said they will file appropriate charges against the suspects. (Minka Tiangco)
