In an effort to become better prepared when robbers strike, police are now being trained on how to respond to mall robberies.
On Wednesday, Metro Manila police chief Director Leonardo Espina led the mall heist drill at Robinson’s Mall in Ermita, Manila.
The scenario involved three armed men entering the mall and attempting robbery. During the drill, the policemen were able to respond quickly to the incident and were able to “gun down” the robbers before they managed to escape.
GMA News reported that Scene of the Crime Operations (SOCO) teams also participated in the training exercises.
