Both suspects were informed of their constitutional rights and underwent the required booking procedures and medical examination. They are currently detained pending the filing of appropriate charges.

Meanwhile, at least two other suspects remain at large. The joint investigation teams continue to coordinate with concerned PNP units and pursue all available leads to locate and arrest the remaining suspects.

Acting City Director PCOL RICKY C SUMALDE emphasized that the CCPO will continue pursuing all available leads while observing due process and established investigative procedures.

“We acted immediately, followed the evidence, and continued the pursuit until we were able to identify and arrest two of the suspects. Our investigation is not over. We will continue working to locate the remaining suspects and ensure that those responsible are held accountable through the proper legal process.” PCOL SUMALDE said.

The investigation continues. CCPO remains committed to pursuing every lead, strengthening coordination among units, and ensuring that those responsible face the proper legal process.
