Police Station 2 commander, Inspector Rie Gumban said those charged at the City Prosecutor's Office on January 2 were Raymund Vasquez and Ruel Olviedo for their involvement in the burglary at the compound of the Provincial Engineer's Office at Capitol Extension, in Baacolod.

The burglary involved more than P200,000 worth of motor oils, police investigation showed.

Also charged were alias “Gilbert”, and “Bimboy Villarias”, who are still at-large, a 16-year-old boy, and Jan Van Gella, a fuel dealer who bought some of the items from the suspects.
