Two Thieves In Las Piñas Arrested In Two Separate Incidents

LAS PIÑAS – Two men in the city of Las Piñas were arrested in two separate incidents for robbing a Chinese store.

According to ABS-CBN, a man, identified as Jaime Ursua, aged 30 years, was arrested with the help of a CCTV footage that showed him robbing a Chinese grocery store in Alabang-Zapote road sa Barangay Almanza Uno.

Ursua testified that he was urged by his friends to initiate a hold-up in order to have something to spend for his family for the upcoming New Year.

Some of his possessions retrieved include a sharp weapon, cellphone, and one sachet of illegal drugs. As for the ₱10,000 worth of cash that was stolen from a Chinese national, it was never retrieved. The police are currently looking for his other companion.

Based on the report, in another incident, a 25 year old Gervin Altarejos was arrested on Sunday night for robbing at a Chinese food delivery store.

Thanks to yet again, a CCTV footage, Altajeros was found riding a motorcycle with his two companions.

Some of his possessions retrieved include 4 cellphone, 1 gold necklace, personal items, and the reduced cash that should have been worth ₱25, 000.

Altarejos testified that he did it out of revenge to the Chinese food delivery owner. He worked as a delivery rider in the said store but was given a minimum rage and was allegedly treated poorly by the owner.

Both suspects will be charged for robbery, with Ursua being charged more for the weapon and illegal drugs.
