The police authorities arrested four close friends for allegedly stealing parked motorcycles in Quezon City.
The suspects were placed behind bars as they face charges of motorcycle theft in Barangay Commonwealth, Quezon City. Their arrest follows multiple complaints from residents who reported missing motorcycles that had been parked outside their homes.
The first to be apprehended was Chuck Garcia in Barangay Commonwealth, who was also found in possession of a loaded firearm. Following his arrest, he named his alleged accomplices – Bryan Patrick Mamplata, Regie Francisco, and Ryan Ilig – who were apprehended in Rodriguez, Rizal.
