Police Cracking Down on Thieves!

Alejandro Cowo

In recent months we have been reporting on a spate or robberies across the country and in recent weeks in the city. Today we asked police about the increase in these crimes and what they are doing to address them.

Supt. Alejandro Cowo, O.C., C.I.B., Eastern Division

“Yes, we know that as of recently there has been an increase and we are urging our police officers to target, especially those on bicycle, as we have noticed that this is the modus that they are using to transport themselves on bicycles and especially by that of wearing the cap and mask. So, we are stressing on our officers that these are the persons when you see them on the street, those are the ones to be targeted as those are the ones we suspect who are carrying out these robberies.”

“Sir, any stepping up of patrols in these neighborhoods where you have these shops?”

Supt. Alejandro Cowo

“Yes, there have been several patrols since Thursday in different areas of the city and especially where the recent shooting took place, likewise.”
