TACURONG CITY – Police captured Tuesday a prime suspect in the deadly pawnshop heist following a chase that ended in Sultan Kudarat province in southern Philippines, officials said.
Officials said Misuari Bansil was cornered in the village of Didtaras in Lambayong town. Bansil was among three gunmen that killed a security guard of the Agencia Brillantes in Koronadal City during a robbery on September 18.
Bansil, a native of Maguindanao province, was first spotted in Tacurong City by informants who tipped off the police about his presence. But Bansil fled on a motorcycle after seeing policemen and this triggered a long chase that involved police forces in Koronadal and Tacurong, and in Lambayong.
Officials said policemen also seized a .45-caliber pistol and a magazine from Bansil, including a talisman. Bansil’s companions remain at-large and are being hunted down by the police. (Rose Muneza)
