Man about to steal motorcycle arrested

-

CEBU - A 20-year-old man was arrested after he was caught by the man whose motorcycle he was riding allegedly in an attempt to steal the vehicle last Tuesday in barangay Guiuan, Argao town.

Joel Amanse of barangay Perrelos, Carcar City was arrested by Ramil Mamac, a security guard of a telecommunications company, after Mamac caught him in the act of riding his motorcycle, which was parked on the roadside.

Initial police investigation showed that Mamac was sent off by the management for a roving task. He was assigned to check the cable wires in the area following successive incidents of wire stealing there.

Mamac said he parked his motorcycle on the roadside before conducting the roving in the area.

Minutes later, Mamac said he saw Amanse riding on his own motorcycle with the “apparent reason to steal the vehicle.” He immediately facilitated the arrest.

A .38 caliber revolver, a bonnet, and a mobile phone were confiscated from the suspect and were turned over to the Argao Police Station.

Amanse is currently detained at the town’s police station. — Niña Chrismae G. Sumacot/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)
