2 ‘crime gang’ members fall in Mabalacat
Mabalacat City Police acting chief Lt. Col. Abraham Abayari reported the arrest of two riding in tandem who exchanged fire with his men on McArthur Highway in Balibago, Angeles City, on Friday.
Abayari said police officers were approaching the two suspects on a motorcycle, both suspected members of “Balyeho” crime group, in front of the Chain Wheel Bike Shop on McArthur Highway.
However, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and fired at the approaching cops but missed, prompting the cops to fire back, hitting the suspects.
The suspects were rushed to the RLMMC for medical treatment.
Seized from the two suspects was a loaded .9mm pistol.
Abayari vowed to step up the anti-crime drive against lawless elements to ensure public safety, peace and order in the city.
