CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY--AUTHORITIES yesterday claimed to have crushed a suspected crime group allegedly composed of a police officer and six others during an operation here over the weekend.
Agora police precinct commander Chief Insp. Elmer Feliciano Rubas said lawmen rounded up the suspects at an inn in Barangay Gusa on Saturday night, April 30 in response to an informant's report. He said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) helped.
Senior Supt. Gerardo Rosales, city police director, said police found members of the group inside Room 208 of De Oro Capitol Inn.
Rounded up were SPO1 Ricarlito Gooc Jr., 51, of Purok 1, Roto Ingrasyas St., Ozamiz City; Philip Bonn Rabanes, 27, of Banadero, Ozamiz City; Junie Merafuentes, 40, Dinas Zamboanga del Sur; Sanny Gamos, 40, of Labo, Ozamiz City; Rolan Baco, 31, of Clarin, Misamis Occidental; Stibbens Unito, 29, of Tutuan, Tambulig, Zamboanga del Sur; and Roy Doronio, 48, of Ozamiz City.
Rosales said police "invited" the men but confiscated from SPO1 Gooc a caliber .45 pistol.
He said Gooc failed to show papers for his pistol and had to be detained for illegal gun possession.
He said Rabanes, another suspect, would be charge for concealing his true identity.
Rosales said the other suspects had pending arrest warrants. Merafuentes was slapped with an arrest warrant for robbery in Tangub City while Gamos was wanted in Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, also for robbery.
Rosales said the suspects' vehicle, a Nissan Sentra with license plates WSS-333, was being carefully examined.
Rubas said the suspects also yield a motorcycle and a L-300 van.
Rosales said he could not say if the group had a hand in the series of robbery cases in the city.
"Our first impression is that this group is just part of the organized group," according to Rubas.
Rubas said the operation was carried out as part of the police's effort against robbers.
"Galabad na among ulo ani. Gasunod-sunod ang robbery cases pero wala kami nagpasagad sa among trabaho," said Rubas.
He said authorities were working against another group believed to be a part of a crime syndicate from western Mindanao.
Meanwhile, police also announced the arrest of a suspected robber following a month of surveillance operations nin Barangay 34.
Rosales identified the suspect as Benjie Talja, 23, of Luscayon, Kimaya, Jasaan, Misamis Oriental.
Rosales said Talja had a warrant of arrest for illegal detention issued by a court in Iligan City.
He said the suspect also has cases for theft and illegal possession of a bladed weapon.
Rosales claimed Talja admitted involvement in robbery, carnapping, kidnapping, snatching cases, including drug distribution, here.
Talja has been detained at Maharlika Detention Center.(GOLDSTAR DAILY)
