Menard Soler, 37, of San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City, was arrested, according to Muntinlupa City police. According to Soler’s Korean businessman boss, Sungchan Hong, 46, the suspect was employed as a driver on March 26.

Upon Soler’s arrest, the stolen P50-million Richard Mille wristwatch was recovered; a Rolex watch worth P2.5 million; 1 AP watch (P3 million); 1 Cartier bracelet (P1 million); 5 pieces of Gold Trump playing cards (P10 million); 1 Dragon bracelet (P1 million); 1 Dupont lighter (P500,000); 4 G-Shock watches (P80,000); 1 gold dragon figurine (P2 million); 2 gold watches (P3 million); 1 silver watch (P500,000); and Apple watch worth P50,000.
Soler is accused of violating Republic Act 10883. (New Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016). According to the report, the suspect is now being held at the Muntinlupa Police detention facility while awaiting his commitment order from the Muntinlupa court.
