NPD: 4 of 13 PDLs who escaped from Caloocan detention facility remain at large

Only four of the 13 escapees from the temporary detention facility of the Caloocan City Police remain at large, the Northern Police District said Friday.

At a press briefing, NPD chief Police Brigadier General Ronnie Ylagan said most of the escapees were recaptured also in Caloocan City.

"Karamihan po ay hindi lumayo, nandoon lang din sila sa Caloocan..." Ylagan said.

"Mayroon na lang po tayong apat na tinututukan, ito na lang po 'yung apat. Pero karamihan po diyan ay nagpapaabot na ng surrender feelers dahil alam nila po na may mga inatasan na tayo na tracker team para mahuli sila," he added.

"Inaalam pa rin namin kung nasaan 'yung exact location nila. Hopefully maaccount po natin lahat ng 'yan..." Ylagan said.

National Capital Region Police Office chief Police Major General Debold Sinas also said Caloocan City police chief Police Colonel Dario Menor was relieved pending investigation on the incident.

Menor earlier said two police officers could face criminal and administrative complaints following the incident.

The persons deprived of liberty were able to escape by punching a hole in the wall of the temporary detention facility. — Anna Felicia Bajo/RSJ, GMA News
