Hostage Drama in a Cavite Bank

A four-hour hostage drama ended peacefully shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday after four armed robbers released eight hostages at a bank in Bacoor, Cavite and surrendered peacefully to policemen, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said.

PNP spokesman Chief Supt. Agrimero Cruz said the suspects already surrendered at 2:44 p.m. and all hostages were safely released.

Cruz said the four gunmen robbed the Masuerte Rural Bank near a police station in Bacoor, Cavite at 11 a.m.

Taken hostage were five bank employees and three depositors. Negotiations were earlier held between the PNP and suspects who have demanded for a getaway car.
