March 9, 2003 | 12:00am
Two suspected remnants of the Busangol Carnap Gang (BCG), operating in the northern part of Metro Manila and adjacent localities, were arrested Thursday night in Navotas.
Michael Dona, 33, said to be the brother-in-law of Boy Busangol, the alleged leader of BCG, and his cohort, one Aldrin Garcillanosa, 29, both of Phase 2, Area 2, Block 33-C, Dagat-Dagatan, Navotas, were apprehended at around 9:30 p.m., police said.
Senior Inspector Ferdinand del Rosario, Northern Police District Intelligence Branch chief, said that the suspects were caught while dismantling a sidecar of a stolen tricycle at an unnumbered house along Tumana corner Lapu-Lapu streets in Navotas.
On Wednesday, Tomasita Magante, 42, sought the help of NPD intelligence branch after her tricycle was reportedly stolen at around 3 a.m. by three armed men along Libis Espina street in Dagat-Dagatan, Caloocan City.
The NPD intelligence agents, through the information provided by PO1 Joseph Medina, who first got wind of the gangs suspected hideout in Navotas, pounced on the suspects and caught them red-handed.
Magantes tricycles sidecar was recovered minus the motorcycle, a black Kawasaki with plate number TM 9887.
The Busangol Gang, a well entrenched group of car thieves, gained its notoriety in the late 90s and is still listed in the NPDs anti-carnapping order of battle.
The groups original leader, a certain Boy Negro, was killed in a police encounter also in the 90s, police prober PO1 Rogelio Tizon said.
Charges were filed Friday against the two suspects with the Caloocan City prosecutors office. They are now locked up at the Caloocan City Jail. Pete Laude
