Cutamora sent a text message to his girlfriend informing her of his escape. Likewise, he sent a text message to his friend who he needed money.
From then, police tracked down Cutamora until they captured him.

“He didn’t resist when he was captured,” said Yuag.

Pino was captured when concerned citizens tipped off the police about the presence of a man in Barangay Fatima, Ubay who wanted to seek shelter in their house.
