Concerned Netizen Posts Videos of Young Thieves in Batangas City
A concerned netizen took to social media to warn the public about a group of young thieves operating in Batangas City.
Recently, Mark Jofil Panganiban Manalo, a Facebook user, shared videos of minors involved in theft. The post quickly circulated on social media and garnered various reactions from the online community.
According to his post, these kids have already stolen from several people, including himself. He shared the videos not to shame them but to raise awareness and help others stay alert. The incident reportedly happened in the downtown area, where the group is said to often target unsuspecting passersby.
Manalo also mentioned that while some of the kids were caught one night, one male suspect managed to escape. Many of them are believed to be part of a larger group, some of whom are known to sniff solvents.
Because they are minors, many worry that they might not face proper consequences, which could lead to them doing the same thing again.
He urged everyone to be extra careful when going to Batangas City, especially in crowded areas where these young offenders might strike. He also reminded the public to keep a close eye on their belongings such as bags, wallets, and phones.
Some online users expressed anger and disappointment, while others pointed out the need for better intervention and guidance for these children. Many agreed, however, that safety comes first and people should stay cautious while authorities work on long-term solutions.
Here is the full post:
“For awareness lang po, mag iingat sa mga batang to na tirador sa batangas city, madami na sila nanakawan isa na ako, mag iingat po kayo sa mga ito, nahuli na po sila kagabi pero nakatakas yung isang lalake mga menor de edad pa, marami sila kasamahan na mga rugby boys, kaya pag pupunta po kayo ng bayan (batangas city) ingatan nyo po mga dala nyong gamit. Pakitandaan po ang mukha ng mga tolonges nato. Salamat”
