MOTORCYCLE THEFT – Two masked men were caught on CCTV stealing a motorcycle in Barangay 35, Tondo, Manila.
On Monday morning (May 20, 2024), a Dennis Zafra, the owner of the motorcycle, discovered that his vehicle was missing at around 7 a.m.
Dennis Zafra, the owner of the motorcycle, discovered that his vehicle was missing at around 7 AM. “Paggising ko ng umaga, nagulat na lang ako na wala na po isang motor ng alas-siyete. Pagkatapos po nun nagreport ako sa barangay na nawawala ‘yung isang motor,” he said.
At the barangay office, Dennis confirmed that his motorcycle had been taken by two masked men. CCTV footage revealed that the theft occurred past 5 AM at the corner of Sandico St. and Asuncion St.
“Tiningnan po namin sa CCTV nakita na nga po ‘yung dalawang lalaki naglakad dito papunta po roon. Tapos pagbalik po dito sinilip po ito. Tapos sumakay na isang lalaki sa orange na motor tapos yung lookout nandoon. May lookout po siya,” the victim recounted.
The CCTV footage showed the suspect in black trying to unlock the motorcycle before escaping towards Asuncion St. The accomplice, dressed in blue, followed on foot, and they both headed towards Ugbo Velasquez.
Zafra explained that he usually parked his motorcycle in that spot, alongside two other motorcycles belonging to his relatives.
“Kaya nakuha niya yung kulay orange na yun kasi madaling tanggalin yung pinaka lock ng ano ng susian niya. Madali siyang sirain di katulqd ng dalawang ito hindi siya madaling sirain,” he added.
The victim bought the second-hand motorcycle for P30,000 to use for his work. He is hopeful that his motorcycle will be recovered since he needs it for work. The barangay officials suggested that the suspects might not be locals.
