MALUNGON, Sarangani – POLICE neutralized in brief firefight, a suspected heist group leader which resulted to the recovery of not only carted cash and belongings, but an earlier stolen motorcycle used as ‘get away’ vehicle during a recently foiled hold-up incident in sitio Molave, Talus, Malungon, Sarangani Province.
P/Chief Inspector Lorobe Rojo, in a report forwarded to Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino on Friday, said the black and white-colored XRM 125 motorcycle bearing plate numbers 9400 IA was formally turned over to its legal owner identified as certain Carlos Cadiongon on February 03, 2014 at the Municipal Police Station, here in town.
Rojo said the motorcycle was left behind during brief exchange of fires between government authorities and the two suspects who earlier pretended to be as diesel fuel sellers to a local-based lady entrepreneur.
Police said the wounded suspect later identified as certain Maximo Lariosa y Lagnas of Lariosa of Tubod, Vinapor, Carmen, Agusan Del Norte, was immediately brought to a nearby infirmary for medication - but was pronounced dead on arrival by attending physicians.
Modus operandi:
“The suspects, in the guise as diesel fuel suppliers first approached and befriended the victim (name withheld) at her roadside eatery, until such time that they returned to the place to 'do business.' This time, the victim with her son and several workers boarded their private-owned truck to allegedly haul the diesel fuel, while the suspects led the convoy toward the supposed place where the diesel fuel could be easily loaded to the truck.
The suspects later announced the heist right after entering a small secluded farm road and took with them the more or less P60, 000 cash of the victim. Tied, the victims however managed to untie themselves and report the incident to police authorities.
Community, barangay officials’ participation:
After the flashed alarm, Malalag Cogon Brgy. Capt. Randy Manguirn called the police at around 5:00 pm to inform about a Honda motorcycle with plate number 9400 IA that was left unattended for several hours, at a grassy portion of Malalag Cogon National High School.
Rojo said a road block was right away established by nearby police stations particularly the combined TF Gensan and Police Precinct 08-manned checkpoint in Brgy. Tinagacan, General Santos City.
Police dragnet :
Policemen backed by barangay officials and tanods were immediately dispatched by Rojo who was then with PO1 Crisanto Baculna, in various strategic points, where authorities have waited until the suspects’ return at around 7:20 in the evening.
“I ordered my men to identify themselves as government authorities while halting the suspects, who instead of slowing down, speed up their motorcycle and fired at the pursuing policemen. These prompted operatives to engage in a running gun battle, hitting the back rider down to the ground. The driver however, continuously engaged by firing back a handgun against the pursuing policemen. He managed to run towards a darkened portion of the place, and perished in the dark,” Rojo added.
Further verification:
Aside from being pinpointed by his would be victims, a follow-up coordination with Carmen town chief of police P/Sr. Insp. Marife Farol has confirmed that the same suspect is a longtime wanted due of a standing Court warrant for Robbery and Violence or intimidation issued by Butuan City RTC 10th Judicial Region Presiding Judge, Hon. Augustus L. Calo.
Rojo said on 01 February 2014, close relatives led by the suspect’s lived in partner Rosalinda Balmocena and elder brother Climaco, claimed the suspect’s cadaver at a local funeral parlor.
Rojo said a case of Robbery with intimidation has been filed against the two (2) suspects at office of the Provincial Prosecutor, Alabel, Sarangani Province with NPS Docket Number: XII-07-INV-14B-00037 signed by Fiscal PAOLO R AQUINO, Prosecution – Attorney, Sarangani Province.
It can be recalled that Constantino also commended for a job well done, the PCI Rojo-led local policemen following the apprehension of a motorcycle carnapper last year. "This kind of alertness and proper coordination is what we need in protecting residents against various kind of lawless elements," Constantino said. (MALUNGON INFORMATION OFFICE).
