Police find 3 more stolen trucks in Taguig warehouse

MANILA, Philippines—Authorities tracked three more stolen vehicles in a warehouse in Taguig City Tuesday morning, two days after they swooped down on a warehouse that stored stolen vehicles in the same area, a police spokesperson said.

Southern Police District spokesperson Chief Inspector Jenny Tecson said that a follow-up operation to find stolen vehicles in Taguig City was done at around 8:30 a.m. in a warehouse along Capistrano Street in Ibayo-Tipas village, Taguig City.

“Two complainants surfaced after the operation last Friday in Taguig and officers from the SPD, Taguig City, Laguna provincial police, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and the Highway Patrol Group went to the warehouse after receiving a search warrant from Judge Amor Reyes of the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 21. The complainants went with the policemen to the warehouse and personally identified their trucks,” Tecson said.

The SPD spokesperson said that complainants Wenceslao Inggan and Trinidad Gonzales found their delivery trucks in the area. “We have sent the three trucks to Bulacan to be impounded pending the results of the investigation on the incident.”

Tecson said that authorities were able to speak with the lawyer of the owner of the warehouse, who was “cooperative to the police and let them into the warehouse.”

The spokesperson, however, could not provide further information on the owner of the warehouse but said that they were waiting for the results of the investigation.

Last week, authorities were able to find a stolen truck through its GPS tracking system in a warehouse located at the same village.
