The quick response of police to a 911 call led to the arrest of three suspects involved in a robbery at a church construction site in Quezon City, according to the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO).
NCRPO chief Maj. Gen. Anthony Aberin reported that the call was received at 7:05 a.m. on Saturday, indicating that individuals had forcibly entered the construction area of a religious building in Barangay Bungad along West Avenue and stolen copper tubes from the air-conditioning system. A mobile unit was dispatched and arrived at the scene by 7:07 a.m.
Aberin highlighted the NCRPO’s capability for rapid deployment and real-time coordination, aligning with Philippine National Police chief Gen. Nicolas Torre III’s vision for a more responsive service.
