“Tayo po ay nagka-conduct pa rin ng investigation regarding this. Sa ngayon, kinukuhanan pa natin ng affidavit ‘yung mga saksi sa nangyaring insidente. Ang sabi ho ng kaniyang kasama ay dalawa sila, ngunit ang isa ho niyang kasama ay umalis at may pinuntahan," PMAJ. Francisco Luceña IV, Chief of Laurel Police Station, said.

"Kung sila ho ay nakakaramdam ng takot, maaari ho nilang puntahan ang mga pulis na naka-deploy sa along the highway saka po ‘yung ating nagpa-patrolya," Luceña added.
