BACOLOD City – The Bacolod City Police Office’s (BCPO) Police Station 7 (PS7) is stepping up its patrolling in Barangay Vista Alegre in this city following a series of robbery-holdup incidents.
PS7 commander Captain Andy Ofalia said they are also intensifying police visibility particularly on the “shortcut road” in the village heading to the sub-villages of Arao, Abada Escay and Progreso.
On Aug. 21 at around 9 p.m., a family riding a motorcycle were waylaid and held up by unidentified armed men.
Several incidents again took place in the next few days, including a robbery-holdup incident victimizing an Indian national.
Police said the suspects took the victim’s motorcycle, although it was later recovered.
