"They Used Masks..."
posted (June 15, 2020)
Again, masks and caps were used in that robbery. Indeed, as we have shown you, the requirement to were a mask in public, has become a useful foil for criminals.

And after more weekend robberies, we put the same question to Superintendent Cowo. This afternoon he told us about the small encouragement that the cops are offering to store owners worried about men behind the masks.

Supt. Alejandro Cowo, OC, CIB
"The officers on the grounds has been alerted and briefed that if they are conducting their patrol and whosoever they encounter whilst patrolling with anything covered on their face, can be their mask, can be the handkerchief they use or their shirt - sometimes they wrap around their face that they have all the right to remove it to check who is the person that is behind the mask. That is part of the strategy they are using and also owners of different business establishment are being encourage that they can ask for that person to remove their mask as they enters and then put it back whilst inside of the shop."
