The Eastern Police District will concentrate on catching robbers riding in tandem on motorcycles following a lull in the anti-Arroyo rallies.
EPD director Chief Superintendent Leon Nilo de la Cruz said its Special Weapons and Tactics personnel, who defend the EDSA Shine during anti-government protest rallies, will patrol the streets to intercept robbers.
Since he assumed command of the EPD last August, De la Cruz said there have been four robberies staged by suspects "riding in tandem," including the case of Benito Tan, who was shot dead after withdrawing payroll money from a bank.
"We have a good lead on the Tan case. However, we cannot divulge our findings as yet for fear of jeopardizing ongoing follow-up operations," he said, adding that the victims family has been cooperating in their investigation.
He said witnesses identified the suspects in the Tan case through their sketches.
De la Cruz that motorcycle-riding robbers are becoming a major concern, not only in his district but also in other police districts in Metro Manila.
"The suspects are getting violent these days as they are shooting their victims, who mostly have just emerged from a bank," he said.
According to De la Cruz, they were massively working on the "riding in tandem" cases in the EPD jurisdiction but the protest rallies against the Arroyo government put their follow-up operations on hold.
The EPD director appealed for a "ceasefire" in protest rallies so the police could concentrate on their anti-criminality duties. De la Cruz noted that in the EPD alone, the ratio of police to the population is at 1:900, which is way above the intended ratio of 1:300 in the metropolis.
"There is already a shortage in personnel assigned to specific tasks and the protest rallies made our deployment against criminality thinner. We are calling for a ceasefire in protest rallies so we could undertake our offensive against criminals," De la Cruz said. Non Alquitran
