The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested rapper Rovi, popularly known as “Slick One,” a former member of the local singing group Breezy Boys, for allegedly selling loose firearms in a buy-bust operation in Malabon City.

- By AARON RECUENCO

CIDG Director Police Major Gen. Nicolas Torre III said Slick One was collared along with a companion after they sold a .38 caliber revolver to a police poseur-buyer in Barangay Tonsuya on May 9.

Citing background information, Torre said suspect Slick One used to be popular on social media for his songs and rapping skills when he was still with the Breezy Boys group.

“Allegedly, he is now a delivery driver, who utilizes the job in his gunrunning activities,” said Torre.
