Motorcycle-Riding Thieves Robbed Japanese Embassy Staff in Pasay
ROBBERY INCIDENT – A Japanese embassy staff was robbed by two motorcycle-riding suspects along Gil Puyat Avenue in Pasay City.
On the evening of June 27, 2025, a Japanese man fell victim to a robbery by two motorcycle-riding suspects.
The 24-year-old Japanese national, who introduced himself as an employee of the Japanese Embassy in the Philippines, was approached by two men riding a motorcycle. Without warning, the suspect grabbed his belongings and immediately fled the scene.
According to the Pasay City Police, the suspects took the victim’s passport and wallet, which contained his IDs, debit cards, and credit cards. The robbers were both wearing helmets that fully covered their faces, making it difficult to identify them through nearby CCTV footage.
Authorities believe the suspects had carefully planned their move, choosing a spot where they could easily escape after committing the crime. Police officers responded quickly to the report and are now reviewing surveillance videos and gathering information from possible witnesses in the area.
The Pasay police are continuing their investigation to identify and locate the suspects. They are also coordinating with other law enforcement units to help track down the culprits and prevent similar incidents from happening in the city.
The incident has raised concern among residents and foreigners in the area, especially with the suspects still at large. Meanwhile, the Japanese victim is safe and has already reported the stolen documents to the proper authorities for replacement.
Officials are reminding the public, especially foreign nationals, to stay alert and avoid carrying important items in open areas whenever possible. The authorities are also encouraging anyone with helpful information to report it to the police immediately.
