Malaysian Nabbed for Posing as RTC Staff to Release Kidnapper Friends

Malaysian Pose as RTC Staff in Attempt to Release Arrested Kidnapper Friends

A Malaysian national and his Filipino accomplice were arrested after they were caught pretending to be staff of Parañaque City Regional Trial Court (RTC).

According to Paranaque City Police, the Malaysian citizen and his Filipino accomplice were detained when they were caught posing as process servers for the Paranaque City RTC and attempting to free three Chinese nationals who had been jailed for abduction.

According to the article, the suspects are Malaysian national Owi Jee Hao, 32, HR Manager of Billions of Dragons Company, and Lorenz Vicedo, 26, HR staff of Billions of Dragons Company. The two appeared at the Paranaque City Police headquarters, claiming themselves as RTC process servers, according to Police Chief Col. Maximo Sebastian Jr.

In the kidnapping case of Han Xun, Cen Shaku, and Shen Fa, the police said that they are holding the Release Order dated January 2, 2022. After further investigation, officials learned that the Release Order brought by Hao and Vicedo was a forgery.

As a consequence, the two suspects who tried to cheat on them were instantly detained by the cops. Through inquest processes at the Paraaque Prosecutors Office, the two suspects will be charged with falsification of public documents and usurpation of authority.

“Let this serve as a warning to all pretending to be a person of authority, representing a department or agency in the Philippine government is a serious crime punishable by law. Kaya’t huwag niyo nang tangkain pa dahil hindi natin ito palalagpasin, we will enforce the law without exception,” said SPD Director, Brig. General Jimili Macaraeg.
