POLICE have arrested anew a member of a robbery group who was among those responsible for the string of robbery cases involving logistics company LBC in Cagayan de Oro and Butuan City.
Arrested was Roosevelt Bedro, 38, resident of Buara, Bayabas in Cagayan de Oro City and a member of Bingkol Palubon Robbery Group.
Joint elements of Crime Against Persons and Property Desk (CAPPD) of the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo) and Butuan police nabbed Bedro by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by a court in Butuan City.
However, the court allowed the suspect to post bail amounting to P100,000.
CAPPD Chief Mario Mantala said Bedro was involved in a robbery incident at LBC in Butuan City.
Mantala also said Bedro was earlier arrested in the city after he was involved in another LBC robbery case in Divisoria.
He said the case was dismissed due to technicality.
"Na-dismiss man to kay naay bikil sa pag-file sa kaso nga na-prove sa iyang abogado. (the case was dismissed because there were lapses in the filing of the case that was proved by his lawyer)," he said.
Mantala said the suspect has been transferred to Butuan City jail. (Alwen Saliring)
