On April 27, 2026, at around 5:59 PM in Barangay Limonda, Opol, Misamis Oriental, six individuals were apprehended for violating Republic Act No. 7942 (Philippine Mining Act of 1995).

Authorities flagged down a white Isuzu L300 van with plate number MAZ 7819 after noticing several sacks of suspected mineral ores in plain view behind the passenger seat.

The suspects failed to present any legal documents authorizing the transport of the minerals, leading to their arrest.
