Rampant carjackings in Quezon City [merged]

[falken]

I wish some vigilantes would put these bastards away.

[ILuvDetailing]

from the last three stories, same MO. Looks like ex-soldiers or policemen are behind this... God help us all. I wish that the government focus their effort in the peace and order situation more rather than political matters.

So huwag niyo munang ilabas yang mga FORTUNER nyo. Delikado. Mainit pa sa mata.

The carjacking & carnapping incidents are going from bad to worse mga peeps. Be wary of the places and the particular times mentioned. Iwasan na lang dumaan sa mga lugar na ito during the wee hours or better yet, stay in the safety and comfort of your homes kung hindi rin lang kailangan lumabas. If the authorities are helpless about the situation then let the vigilantes do their thing!

[oldblue]

they're getting bolder na talaga, dati yan balita sandwiching of victim's cars sa C5 lang nangyayari.

...ang pagpili ba nila ng otong ica-carjack the same with commonly carnapped vehicles?

[mikey177]

Around 12 midnight, my car (a late model Accord), was cut by
another car with blinkers, and four men armed with armalites aimed their guns
at me, and told me to open my door. First I thought they were policemen in civvies who had mistaken me for someone else, or whatever. But when they commanded me to board their car and demanded my wallet and valuables, I knew they were robbers and carjackers.

I gather that the victim stopped his car because he saw that the other car had blinkers. Personally, unless I see that the persons trying to flag me down are using a clearly marked police vehicle, I'm going to get the heck out of there (even if I have to ram the other vehicle) and head for the nearest police outpost or some place with lots of witnesses. Nasa rules of engagement yan ng PNP na dapat clearly identifiable palagi ang mga operatives nila.

Napanood ko sa Discovery Channel: The kidnapping/carjacking capital of the world is MEXICO. The solution: CAR WITH BULLETPROOF GLASS AND BODY ARMOR. The armor business there is thriving!

Hindi sina-santo ng mga kid/carjackers dun kahit mga celebrities nila. Kung baga dito, kahit si Manny Pacquiao titirahin nila.

[oldblue]

malaki chances to get away from a single driver with a handgun,

but four occupants with armalites, pano kaya? or would they take the risk of firing automatic weapons while moving or chasing?

IMO - the carnap statistics for the Philippines isn't that alarming.

Medyo stable / slight downtrend pa nga ang carnapping incidents.

and i always say a prayer before i drive out for a safe journey ..

yun ang the best diyan

According to the police, Hemady and Gilmore are their favorite haunts but they also wait at the new Katipunan/ Blue Ridge underpass.

Given this information, should we already expect immediate police action, o maghihintay na naman sila na dumami muna yung mga biktima ng carjackings?
