MANILA, Philippines – The Makati City police are still at a loss for clues in Tuesday’s P2.7 million bank robbery that resulted in the death of two men who shot it out with responding law enforcers.

Despite attempts to track down at least four to six others who escaped with the loot, the police have not yet established their identities, said Supt. Manuel Santos Jr., chief of the Makati police criminal investigation division.

Authorities have started looking for the men in hospitals and clinics in Las Piñas City and Rizal province following reports that some were wounded in a shootout with police on Gil Puyat Avenue and could have been brought there. A checkup, however, revealed that the wounded patients in these hospitals were involved in other incidents, Santos said.

Two of the robbers, Eric Pacarat and Antonio Perez Antoque Jr., died in the gunfight.

Ofelia Baluyot and Robert Tarca, finance officers of a construction firm, were in a car when men on board motorcycles blocked their path, grabbed the money they just withdrew from a Metrobank on Dian Street and took off.

Policemen on patrol duty chanced upon the scene and confronted the robbers who reached for their guns, resulting in a gunfight, Santos said.
