LAOAG CITY – The three persons who were arrested for allegedly stealing goods in a big grocery store in this city belong to a robbery syndicate, Laoag City police head Supt. Edwin Balles reported.

He said that the suspects were apparently operating in Northern Luzon after they admitted responsible in the previous theft cases in nearby Batac City and in Candon City, Ilocos Sur.

Recovered inside their get-away vehicle were other goods allegedly stolen from other business establishments, police said.
