MANILA, Philippines — An unemployed 28-year-old man was arrested by authorities for allegedly stealing P270 worth of meat products in a store in Taguig City.
The Southern Police District said the suspect, identified as Jeffrey Cayanan, went into the Alfamart mini store located in Brgy. Ligid late Saturday and took one sealed plastic of 500 grams of pork shoulder worth P135 and one sealed plastic of skewered barbeque also worth P135 supposedly without paying.
The store clerk who was monitoring Cayanan through the store’s CCTV camera chased the suspect and immediately sought the assistance of two members of the barangay security force, according to the police report.
This resulted in the arrest of Cayanan and recovery of the meat products. He was then brought to the police station for proper disposition.
