Two "akyat- bahay" members were arrested by members of the Las Piñas City CAA substation early morning of Saturday, August 31.
Las Piñas City police chief Col. Sandro Tafalla identified the suspects as alias “Jason,” 22, and alias “Oscar,” 34. They were arrested inside a subdivision in Barangay Pulanglupa Dos, Las Piñas City.
Tafalla said the victim, identified as alias “Russel,” was awakened by the loud barking of his dogs at around 1:30 a.m. and discovered the suspects inside his home and had stolen a cellular phone and a silver watch.
He said the suspects tried to flee but his neighbors had already called for police assistance which led to the arrest of the suspects.
The city police chief said recovered from alias Jayson was a .38 caliber loaded with ammunitions while an unknown caliber pistol and shoulder bag where the stolen items were placed were confiscated from alias Oscar.
Taffala said the suspects were immediate brought to the police custodial facility after their arrest. They were charged with Trespass to Dwelling, Theft, and violation of Republic Act 10591, or the Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act.
