Two armed robbery suspects were arrested by the Pasay City Police on Sunday, October 13, the Southern Police District (SPD) said.
SPD director BGen. Bernard Yang identified the suspects as “Jun Jun," 23, and “Dexter," 29, who are both tricycle drivers.
The duo were arrested in front of a hotel at the corner of Taft Avenue and Buendia Avenue, Pasay City.
Pasay City Police chief PCol. Samuel Pabonita said the victim sought assistance from patrolling policemen after he was robbed at gunpoint by two men and took his IPhone worth P20,000.
The quick response of the officers led to the arrest of the suspects where they recovered a .38 caliber revolver and a .9mm submachine gun from Jun Jun and Dexter.
The motorcycle used by the duo was also recovered by the police.
Jun Jun and Dexter were charged with robbery-holdup and violation of Republic Act 10591 (Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition).
