The NCRPO presented two members of the notorious robbery group arrested during the police follow-up operations after the killing of their leader, Alvin Flores, and three of his henchmen and the arrest of another by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) early this week in Cebu.

The two were Dennis Serquina, who was arrested in his residence in Umingan, Pangasinan; and Jose Warlito Rodriguito alias Wallet, who surrendered after feeling pressure due to the continuous follow up operations by the police.

Both Serquina and Rodriguito were brought for inquest at the Makati City Prosecutors' Office on November 3 for the crime of robbery with homicide, the NCRPO chief said.

Serquina was arrested around 11 a.m. of October 31 inside his house in Barangay Aloo, Umingan, Pangasinan.

Also, Rosales has showed footages of the Alabang and Greenbelt heist, pointing to how the group operates. The two suspects also identified the each of the members through the video.

"We will continue to put pressure to the remaining eight members and we will put an end to this Alvin Flores Group," Rosales said.

Ramon Gatan; the Regional Police Intelligence Operations Unit (RPIOU); Pangasinan Provincial Police Office; Southern Police District (SPD); and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) for the arrest of the two suspects.
