CAMP PACIANO RIZAL, Philippines — Two suspected thieves were killed in an early morning encounter with police in Calamba City, Laguna, on Monday.<\/p>\n
Senior Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, Laguna police director, in a text message, said the suspects, riding in tandem in a stolen motorcycle, were killed in Barangay (village) Paciano Rizal at around 4 a.m.<\/p>\n
Prior to the encounter, the suspects held up a certain Christian Marvida past midnight in Barangay (village) 3 and stole the victim\u2019s motorcycle, according to the police.<\/p>\n
Police were tracking them down when they received a report of another robbery at a gasoline station in Barangay Real that took place about three hours later.<\/p>\n
Authorities chased the suspects until they reached Barangay Prinza-Batino where they exchanged fire.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Joel Pernito, Calamba City police chief, in a phone interview said the suspects, whose identities were still unknown, died of several gunshot wounds\u00a0 in the body.<\/p>\n
Recovered from the crime scene were guns of caliber .38 and .45 and the stolen motorcycle.<\/p>\n
Pernito said the slain suspects could be members of a robbery gang that preyed on individuals with motorcycles and persons who had just withdrawn cash from automated teller machines at night.<\/p>\n
