GPD: 3 suspects in Bank of Guam robbery arrested
GUAM (Pacific News Center)—Guam police arrested Wednesday night three suspects in the Feb. 6 armed robbery of the Yigo branch of the Bank of Guam.
They have been identified as Ricky Chris McIntosh Jr. of Dededo, 35; Vincent David Santos of Mangilao, 41; and Jathan John Pangelinan Tedtaotao, 18.
GPD spokesman A.J. Balajadia said that McIntosh and Tedtaotao were the alleged masked men who entered the bank, while Santos is accused of being the getaway driver.
A fourth suspect in the bank robbery, Antonio Roke Quitugua, was arrested on Saturday March 1. He is accused of being a lookout in the bank robbery. On Wednesday, Quitugua entered a plea of not guilty to various robbery, theft and conspiracy charges.
It was Quitugua’s March 2 magistrate’s report that first revealed that police already knew the names of the suspects who they believed committed the Bank of Guam robbery. And it is now known that the fourth, unnamed suspect in that magistrate report is Jathan John Pangelinan Tedtaotao.
Vincent Santos is the stepfather of Jathan Teddtaotao. Both were already in custody on different charges.
Santos was being held for the Feb. 7 theft of a black 2004 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck from the GMH parking lot, which occurred one day after the Bank of Guam robbery.
And Santos’ stepson Jathan was being held on a burglary charge related to the Feb. 2 theft of firearms from a Yigo home. Six firearms and about 200 rounds of ammunition were stolen. This robbery occurred four days prior to the Yigo bank robbery.
McIntosh is being held for second-degree robbery, criminal facilitation, terrorizing, conspiracy, theft of property, reckless conduct, use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, and guilt established by complicity.
