Col. Albert Larubis, Zamboanga Sibugay police director, identified the victim in Wednesday afternoon’s robbery attempt in Barangay Mate, Titay town, as businessman Dande Calago.
Larubis identified the arrested suspects as Felix Salazar, 40, his younger brother, Jovanie, 37, and Joven Ocmer, 30, a member of the Army’s 42nd Infantry Battalion based in Kalawit, Zamboanga del Norte.
Police investigation showed that before the incident, Calago was driving his pick-up type vehicle with Felix and Ocmer aboard on the way to Barangay Mate to inspect a parcel of land being sold to him by Jovanie, Larubis said.
Larubis said Felix and Ocmer at gunpoint declared the heist and tied the hands of Calago with masking tape.
