ANGELES CITY – A total of eight vehicles and a towing truck were among those recovered by the police in a series of raids on suspected lairs of the Dominguez carnapping group in Pampanga since the arrests of the suspects in the recent gruesome murders of car dealers.
Senior Supt. Primitivo Retirado, Pampanga police director, told Punto that more suspected lairs of the carnapping group were slated, including one in Barangay Nampicuan in San Fernando, Pampanga.
“The one in Nampicuan was supposed to be among those raided last Monday, but the arrest warrant erred in the house number, so it had to be corrected,” he said.
The raid targets, he noted, were identified by Alfred Mendiola alias Bading who had admitted being a member of the Dominguez gang and identified Roger and Raymond Dominguez as masterminds in the killing of the car dealers.
Dominguez and his companion Batibot Parulan admitted they posed as buyers of the cars being sold by Emerson Lozano and Venson Evangelista last Jan. 12. The charred bodies of the car dealers, including Lozano’s driver Ernani Sensil, were later found in various parts of Central Luzon.
Retirado said that last Monday, he and members of the police Special Investigation Task Group Lozano raided a lair of the Dominguez group in Lemans Subdivision in Barangay Mabiga in Mabalacat, Pampanga that yielded a green and a black-colored Mitsubishi Montero vans, a silver Kia Sportage and a red Honda City car. The Kia had anniversary plates of the Department of Justice.
Police raided another lair in Barangay Kamuning in Mexico town that yielded a tow truck.
A separate raid on a safehouse in Barangay Pulong Bulu in Angeles City yielded a black Ford Everest with plate No. NMQ 946 and a black Mitisubishi Outlander with plate no. ZLL 649.
Mendiola has relatives in Barangay Pulong Bulu.
Last Friday, police also raided a rented house at Greenville subdivision in San Fernando and yielded a Ford Expedition and a Mitsubishi Pajero, both without plates, and a green Toyota Revo with plate no. SBC 388.
Chief Superintendent Allan Purisima, Central Luzon police director, said that evidences in these raids would boost the cases against the Dominguez brothers who are now in the custody of the police in Camp Crame.
