The Philippine National Police-Regional Office 3 (Central Luzon) has offered a reward of P100,000 for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in the killing of two cops in Bocaue, Bulacan.
Central Luzon Regional Director and concurrent PNP Spokesperson, BGen. Jean Fajardo said that the pursuit operation against the still at-large suspect is ongoing, while his older brother, who was the target of the police operation, was already arrested.
She also strongly condemned the attack and vowed justice for the fallen officers. On Saturday, two police officers died when a buy-bust operation ended in an encounter in Sitio Tugatog, Barangay Tambunong.
Fajardo also said that based on intelligence gathered by the PNP, the brothers are involved in the illegal sale of weapons.
The pursuit against the suspect is reportedly centered outside Bulacan after authorities received information that he had already left the province. PNP Chief, Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil is also scheduled to visit the wake of the two cops.
