The military identified the suspected bandits as
Gahih Alih,

The bandits did not resist arrest when members of the 4th Scout Rangers, (not 23rd Scout Rangers) 4th Scout Ranger Battalion spotted them inside the jeep that was bound for Barangay Bu the Philippine Staransa.
The bandits were in town to get supplies for their comrades who are fleeing the military dragnet.
