THE leader of the notorious Chigo robbery group was arrested in Barangay Angliongto, Lanang, Davao City on Monday afternoon.

Members of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Southern Mindanao led by Superintendent Johnson Almazan arrested Calimbo at his residence around 2 p.m. by virtue of arrest warrant under criminal case 15435 penned by Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 31 in Tagum dated September 13, 2007 for Roberry with Violence Against or Intimidation of Persons case.

The Chico robbery group is believed to be behind several robbery cases in Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur and Compostela Valley Province.

The group is also believed to be behind the robbery and death of a man in Digos City last February.

The suspect, however, denies allegations and his involvement with the group.

Calimbo is presently detained at the CIDG while authorities are preparing to endorse him to the proper court. (RCO)
