ROBBERY INCIDENT – A male thief has been caught on camera stealing a sewer hole steel bar in Barangay Bakilid, Mandaue City.
Nowadays, robbery has been one of the major problems not only in the Philippines but also in various regions all around the world. Some criminals have no choice but to commit crimes due to lack of job opportunities.
The Philippine government is implementing stricter policy but the crimes continue to exist behind the knowledge of the authorities. The rate of criminality continue to increase despite the stricter rules and regulations.
On Tuesday dawn (January 24, 2023), a male thief spotted along the portion of L. Jayme St. Sacris Road in Barangay Bakilid, Mandaue City has been caught on camera stealing the sewer hole steel bar.
Around 1 am, the barangay’s closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera caught a man on a motorcycle taking one of the steel sewer hole bars at a section of L. Jayme St. In the CCTV footage, the suspect pretended to urinate near the steel bar before lifting the item. The latter observed the surroundings before performing his illegal activity.
After leaving the steel bar partially open, the male thief returned a short while later, pretended to urinate once more, placed the steel bar on the motorcycle seat, and immediately leave the area.
On Wednesday, January 25, 2022, Roy Lumapas, Bakilid’s village head, stated that he directed all village guards (barangay tanods) to increase their routine patrol in the streets with the help of the police in order to prevent repeat similar incidents.
Following the incident, Barangay Bakilid officials are now on high alert, and the area has been cordoned off to prevent accidents.
