“I think it’s easy for the public to underestimate how effective they are in these cases,” Cst. Carver said.
“I don’t think the case would have moved forward without the assistance of the public.”
Jeffery Catacutan, Justin Frank, Simon La and Jonclemon Librea have been arrested and are charged with two counts of aggravated assault each.
