Police Station 1 commander Adonis Rosales said the suspects gained entry at the back portion of the building by cutting the padlock using a bolt cutter.

Rosales believed that the suspects were accompanied by a minor who was tasked to enter the business establishment in order to rob the building.

Last Friday, one of the business establishments at the downtown area was entered by robbers using a bolt cutter to destroy the lock.

Rosales believed it’s a single group that operates within his area of responsibility which he considered it as a challenged in his stint as station commander.

Bacolod City Police Office Director Ricardo De la Paz earlier ordered Rosales to neutralize the ‘bolt cutter’ gang members who operate along the downtown area. (MAP)
