Manhunt underway for man who threatened Barangay Tanod in San Pedro, Laguna

A manhunt underway for the man who pointed gun at responding Barangay Tanod in San Pedro, Laguna, according to the report of Jhomer Apresto on "Saksi."

The suspect is one of two individuals who attempted to rob a house in the subdivision.

The CCTV footage in Barangay Sampaguita in San Pedro, Laguna at around 3 a.m. on Wednesday showed two men onboard a motorcycle with one of them pointing a gun at a Barangay Tanod.

The Barangay Tanod had observed the men, through the CCTV, exhibiting suspicious behavior.

John Belleza, one of the responding tanods, said the man holding the gun returned and again pointed a gun at him. The suspect also took the key of one of the motorcycles and threw it away before leaving the area.

Belleza said they could also be the same suspects of a burglary that occurred in the previous month.

In Barangay Calendola, during a buy bust operation, authorities arrested a 31-year-old suspect and recovered one gram of suspected shabu and a revolver.

According to an initial investigation, the suspect is one of the two men who earlier confronted the Barangay Tanods.

Police Lt. Col. Reynaldo Vitto, San Pedro City Police Station acting chief of police, said the suspect has pending cases on illegal drugs and robbery.

The suspect, who is in police custody, faces several charges including Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act and Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
