Sunday, August 24, 2008 Bolt-cutter gang operating in Baguio busted
THE Baguio City Police Office (BCPO) is calling on all recent victims of 'bolt cutter' or any other robbery gang to go to their office to identify some recovered stolen items.
This, after six alleged Bolt-cutter gang members were arrested, when caught red-handed, while cutting the padlocks of a shop in Baguio in the wee hours of the morning last Thursday.
This led to the subsequent arrest of a seventh cohort in Lower Rock Quarry, and also to the recovery there of seven computer central processing units (CPUs), which were believed stolen from one of the many Internet shops victimized by what may be the same Bolt-cutter gang nabbed earlier that same day.
Those arrested earlier were identified as Baguio Police Chief Florante Camuyot as Roni Bangniwan Agid, Warren Gadak Luganer, Danilo Cuengan Bayngan, Nelo Pangdal Baoyan, Nick Po-mayo Mayong, and Jaime Pagada Bantengan.
The seventh suspect was named Reynaldo Falorie Gonzales.
Chief Inspector Reynaldo Pasiwen, chief of the BCPO Mobile Group, said his men were conducting a patrol at 2 Happy Homes, Old Lucban when they chanced upon the six suspects, while trying to cut the padlocks of an Avon store there. (ENO)
