One of ‘gotohan’ robbers in Parañaque falls

One of the suspects in the "gotohan" robbery in Parañaque City was arrested on Friday night.

Police identified the suspect as Jesrell "Budoy" Arador, 31 and a resident of Hontiveros Compound, Fourth Estate in Barangay Sto. Antonio.

Police said Arador injured his right arm when he jumped from the second floor of his house as he attempted to elude arrest.

Authorities seized a .38 pistol with five live ammunition from the suspect.

Arador is facing charges for violation of Republic Act No. 10591 (Illegal Possession of Firearms) and for robbery with serious physical injuries.

Police believe Arador was one of the armed men who robbed the GoTo Bar in Parañaque City early Thursday. The group took P15,000 cash and items, including the P6,0000 earnings of the eatery.

Manhunt operations are ongoing against the remaining members of the group. —ALG, GMA News
