Acetylene Gang still in jail despite bailable case

by Elvie Roman-Roa
THE lawyer of the Igorot Acetylene Gang, Atty. Julius Calumnag, arrived from Mt. Province to post bail on its members who were caught breaking into Cebu Gold Pawnshop last Christmas. All eight suspects are charged of frustrated robbery which is bailable at P24,000 for each suspect.

But the suspects remain in jail as the police wants to make sure there are no other cases filed against them in other places. So far, Precinct 1 received only one feedback from the National Bureau of Investigation. Suspect Elvis Lawig has a pending case of theft at RTC Branch 6 in Baguio.
 
He also has four criminal records namely two cases of illegal possession of deadly weapon in Mt. Province filed in July 12 and 16, 1982 and he was sentenced for robbery with violence and intimidation in Feb. 11, 1991. It is not yet clear if he has already made time for these offenses.
