Police are still looking for two more suspects in an armed robbery last month of a Japanese national in Chalan Kiya, but investigators raised the possiblity that they may have fled to the Philippines.

An arrest warrant has been issued for the immediate capture of Glenn L. Quiobe, 39, and Joselito Abaya Ambat, 35.

Two suspects, Victormarie Reyes Santa Monica, 31, and Allan Ermeno Rodeo, 37, were earlier arrested by the police. Mr. Santa Monica’s bail has been set at $35,000 while Mr. Ermeno was released on third party custody.

Mr. Quiobe, who is residing in San Jose, is a carpenter working with Rep. Antonio Camacho while Mr. Ambat, a resident in Koblerville, works at UIC as a packer.

Investigation revealed that the four suspects ransacked the residence of Iwao and Junko Sakai and fled with $11,000 cash and $20,000 estimated worth of jewelry.

Ms. Sakai, who was sleeping in the afternoon of Oct. 29, said she woke up seeing two to four masked robbers inside the house. Ms. Sakai said the robbers also stole the Toyota 4Runner.

The four are facing charges of armed robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, burglary, assault and battery, theft, conspiracy to commit crimes, and theft of vehicle.
