Residents and businessmen of Guindulman town fear for their lives as robbery-holdup suspect Ian Bautista and his group remain at large and are reportedly recruiting new members in the coastal town.
Two residents of Guindulman described to the Chronicle how stores, business establishments and households close down as early as 6 o'clock in the evening as they fear Bautista's group might strike. Identities of the two locales are withheld for security reasons.
They said residents of barangays Catungawan, Casbo, Bato, Bulawan and Guinacot have organized volunteer groups that conduct patrols during nighttime in order to secure their neighborhood as Bautista's group has been spotted several times aboard two motorcycles roaming their area.
Bautista has been tagged as prime suspect of a murder and hold-upping incident last January 9 in Catungawan, a barangay approximately three kilometers from Poblacion, Guindulman. The barangay has six volunteers who complement barangay tanods.
