THE main suspect in the P2.5-million heist of Peninsula Rural Bank (Penbank) last Aug. 21 in Mandaue City was arrested yesterday in Bohol by a four-man team from the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO).
Rodulfo Atega, 21, was arrested past 7 a.m. in his house in Poblacion, San Miguel, Bohol Province based on a warrant for robbery issued by Regional Trial Court Judge Fortunato de Gracia last Tuesday.
Atega’s capture was made less than 24 hours after the arrest of robbery group leader Casimero “Meloy” Atega and three other members identified as Cresencio “Bruts” Reguya, a former civilian military volunteer, Gilven Nuez and Sofronio Remoreras.
