3 robbers arrested in Tacloban

TACLOBAN CITY –An “akbay-bahay” group was arrested by operatives of Tacloban City Police Office Station 1 after they received reports that the group was at Barangay 109-A.

The three suspects were identified as Marvin Abuyabor alias Burdado, Luigi Lacandazo and Arthur Radaza, all jobless and from the municipality of Dulag, were nabbed by police operatives who immediately responded to the report of the robbery incident in said barangay.

Seized from the three suspects were one unit Blackberry phone, two units Nokia 1210, one Nathaniel bag and an XRM motorcycle with plate number 8780HK.

Said motorcycle, according to police operatives, was borrowed by the group from a certain BJ Villegas, also from Dulag.

In the follow-up operation of the Tacloban City law enforcers after coordinating with law enforcers of Dulag to apprehend other suspects, they were able to seize in the hideout of the suspects one unit Nokia N70, two units of laptop computer, one unit Samsung phone, another unit of Nokia phone and a digital camera.

Upon retrieving said robbed items, the police investigators immediately filed a complaint against the suspects at the City Prosecutors Office for the crime of robbery and violation of Batas Pambansa Bilang 6.

City police director Senior Superintendent Wilson Caubat said they are still conducting a follow-up operation as there are still other members of the group that remain at large.

Caubat added that said accomplishment only means that the law enforcers are always on alert and ready to respond on reports of criminal activities done by criminal groups in the city.

He added that as the holiday season is fast approaching, they have instructed their men to always be vigilant and to ensure peace and order at all times.

Caubat then asked the help of barangay officials in safeguarding of the community and identifying criminal elements operating in their area.
