Captain Hazel Tuazon, DCPO Spokesperson, said 28 out of 29 robbery cases have been cleared or identified and the suspects have been charged. Meanwhile, 23 have been solved or arrested and the suspects have been charged.
Based on that record, the Crime Clearance Efficiency (CCE) in robbery cases is 96.55% while the Crime Solution Efficiency (CSE) is 79.31%.

The CCE refers to the rate of cleared cases from the total crimes while the CSE indicates the percentage of cases solved for a given period. The police consider a case solved if the suspect is arrested and later charged.
