Suspected carjackers killed in QC
Three suspected carjackers were killed in a gunbattle with police near White Plains subdivision in Quezon City early Monday.
Elements of Task Force Limbas said the suspects fired at their vehicle after refusing to stop their Hyundai Starex van (XGY-494) at a checkpoint outside the subdivision. A firefight ensued, which left all three suspects dead.
Police said the van's license plates were stolen from a Toyota Corolla. They said the suspects allegedly posed as policemen before seizing cars from their victims.
Authorities have yet to determine if the carjackers were connected to a criminal syndicate operating in Fairview.
