At 2:32 p.m. also on Jan. 14, the anti-cybercrime units of both the Northern Police District and the Quezon City Police District arrested a suspect, identified only as “Arvin,” for selling his registered SIM card.

The SIM card was linked to a verified e-wallet account and was priced at P2,300, the ACG explained in a separate report.

“Arvin” was taken by operatives along General Araneta Avenue in Cubao, Quezon City.

The High Court in London will examine over several months whether BHP was partly liable for the 2015 collapse of a dam at a mining waste site in Brazil.

The ACG said all four suspects were charged with violations of the SIM Registration Act, the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act, and the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
