The swift action by the police in solving the murders of three cellphone technicians in Lal-lo, Cagayan manifested a more aggressive stance of the Philippine National Police (PNP) against serious crimes, according to PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr.
Nartatez said two male suspects, aged 31 and 48, were arrested on Friday, Mar. 13, in Brgy. San Juan, Buguey, Cagayan, only one day after the bodies of the victims were recovered from a roadside in Barangay Sta. Teresa, Lal-lo.
“These arrests show our enhanced intelligence-driven operations at the grassroots level. Our commitment is not only to prevent crime but to ensure fast police response against law offenders,” Nartatez said.
Police recovered multiple firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, a grenade, and mobile phones, from the suspects.
