| | Three
suspects of a series of armed robberies in Ubay town were caught in a hot pursuit
operation last Saturday after victimizing a minor along the national highway in
barangay Bongbong of said town.
The
three were presented yesterday to PNP Bohol Director P/SSupt. Arturo Evangelista
at Camp Dagohoy, this city, along with three other separate complainants who positively
identified the suspects.
The
suspects identifed as Rene Golosino, 23; Avelino Autor, 22; and Albert Dinulan,
21, all single and residents of barangay Pagasa, Ubay are believed to be members
of a robbery group, numbering more than 20, that victimized Ubay residents.

were able to pursue the three suspects less than 24 hours after they victimized
a minor identified as Melissa Palaca, a resident of barangay Bongbong, together
with her companion, Ryan Senobio of Lumangob.
In
an interview with Palaca, who volunteered to accompany the suspects in Camp Dagohoy,
she was walking along the national highway of barangay Bongbong together with
Senobio, around 6:30 in the evening of Nov. 3, when the three suspects, aboard
a motorcycle, accosted them and snatched her cellphone.
Fortunately,
Senobio was able to identify one of the suspects, Autor, due to a previous brawling
incident involving him and the latter. |
The
victims immediately reported the incident to Bongbong chair Guamirorie Basilad
Delada, who sought police assistance.
Senobio
told police he knew one of their assailants and immediately went to the suspect's
residence in barangay Pagasa.
However,
the suspect, Autor, did not come home until the next morning, Saturday, only to
find out police were already posted near his residence and readily arrested him.
Autor
later disclosed to Ubay police his two cohorts, Dinulan and Golosino who were
also nabbed in their homes.
Ubay
PNP chief P/Supt. Eduardo Saavedra immediately informed other robbery victims
who came to the municipal police station and positively identified to the three
suspects as their attackers.
OTHER
COMPLAINANTS
Other
complainants who positively identified the three suspects are Sara Alison Bireng,
a resident of barangay Lumangog; and Susan Bucio, resident of barangay Calanggaman
both in Ubay town.
Bireng
was held up while on her way home last September 12, in barangay Lumangog. The
suspects also took her cellphone and personal effects.
Meanwhile,
Bucio's store in Calanggaman was burglarized while the suspects tied her up before
fleeing with an amount of cash and merchandise items. |
