The leader of a Gapos Gang who robbed a rice store in Bocaue, Bulacan, was arrested and found to be a police officer assigned in Batangas.
According to a report by John Consulta on GMA News’ 24 Oras, CCTV footage showed five armed men wearing bonnets entering the rice store last Saturday.
They tied up the people inside before taking money and valuables. Police Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio Peñones explained that the group’s style was to wait for victims to open the door, then storm inside, tie them up, and steal everything they could.
On Wednesday, the gang also attacked a soft drinks warehouse. In the footage, one suspect’s face mask slipped, showing his identity.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
