P50K loot, motorcycle stolen in Paco house break-in: 2 arrested
Two men were arrested after breaking into a house and stealing around P50,000 in cash, jewelry, and a motorcycle used as a getaway vehicle in Paco, Manila, the Manila Police District (MPD) reported.
The suspects were identified only by their aliases “Manny,” 59, and “Ron,” 57, both residents of different barangays in Paco. They are currently detained at MPD Police Station 6.
In a report to the PS6 commander Lt. Col. Alfonso Saligumba, police said the suspects took a bag containing cash, jewelry, and other valuables from the victim’s home before fleeing using the victim’s motorcycle.
According to Saligumba, the suspects were identified with the help of a witness who saw them and immediately alerted patrolling officers, prompting a swift follow-up operation.
Police then reviewed closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage in the area, which provided crucial leads that led to the identification and eventual arrest of the suspects.
Authorities later tracked down the two men and recovered the stolen motorcycle, which had been abandoned in a parking area in Paco.
The victim expressed gratitude to the police for their quick response and for recovering the motorcycle.
The MPD said the arrest resulted from intensified patrol operations and the prompt response by Police Station 6 personnel under Saligumba’s leadership.
