A leader of a car theft group was killed and his cohort arrested in a pre-dawn shootout with police in Makati City Monday, a police spokesman said.
Ivan Padilla, the leader of the group tagged as responsible for stealing the vehicles of former foreign affairs secretary Roberto Romulo and Derek Ramsey Sr., was pronounced dead on arrival at the Ospital ng Makati after sustaining gunshot wounds, said Senior Superintendent Agrimero Cruz Jr.
Cruz said one Mark Inducil was also arrested by authorities.
The two suspects were spotted by authorities on board a stolen Toyota Vios (ZAP-355) at around 5 a.m. Monday along General Luna Street, Barangay (village) Poblacion.
When accosted, the two engaged policemen in a fire fight, leading to the death of Padilla.
