The police said the suspects were captured during a hot-pursuit operation launched after the group evaded a checkpoint.
“The operatives conducted land interdiction through intelligence-driven checkpoint operations. The suspects evaded the checkpoint, thus a hot pursuit operation ensued which resulted in the arrest of the suspects,” the SOU said in a statement.
