A police hot pursuit operation led to the arrest of the suspects identified as Christian Buquia Yosores from Barangay Poblacion, Alcantara; and Juvil Cravantes Sabanal, 18, and Jimman Carba Lozano, 20, both from Barangay Saavedra.

According to police, the incident occurred around 3:00 AM on July 2. Antonia recalled hearing noises from their ceiling at around 11:30 PM while they were asleep, but the sounds stopped after a few minutes.
