6 convenience store robbers arrested in Laguna
MANILA, Philippines — Six men who allegedly robbed a convenience store in Nueva Ecija on Tuesday night were arrested at past midnight yesterday following a police pursuit operation that ended in Alaminos, Laguna.
The suspects – identified only as Mark, Pat, Gian, JM, John and James – were in a Toyota Hi-Ace van that police intercepted in Barangay San Andres at around 3 a.m.
The men posed as customers before robbing an Alfamart convenience store in Barangay Pambuan in Gapan.
The suspects hogtied the workers before fleeing with P35,000, according to Central Luzon police director Brig. Gen. Jess Mendez.
The victims managed to untie themselves and called police, who launched a pursuit operation and cornered the suspects in Laguna.
Four handguns, four grenades and the loot were seized from the suspects.
Mendez said the suspects are members of a criminal group targeting convenience stores in Central Luzon and Calabarzon.
