BACOLOD CITY — “Hindi kayo magtatagumpay” (You will not succeed).
This was the warning of Police Brig. Gen. Romano Cardiño, acting regional director of the Police Regional Office-Negros Island Region, to criminal elements targeting police officers.
Cardiño said police officers in the region are ready to address all situations on the ground.
“We are in control of the situation,” he added.
On Wednesday, two intelligence operatives of the Bacolod City Police Office were tailed and attacked by two suspected robbers near the BCPO headquarters in Barangay Singcang-Airport here.
The two police officers were unharmed in the shooting, and one of them managed to retaliate, leading to a brief chase and the arrest of the two suspects.
Authorities seized a firearm and PHP 136,000 worth of suspected shabu from the suspects.
Police are probing the motive for the attack.
