According to a report from Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan (Mimaropa) police, Christian Cabatay, 31, was arrested at 8:30 p.m. after store owners Jerwin and Marichu Lusterio, both 39, complained to police that he carted away grocery items worth P7,000 from their business establishment in Barangay (village) Conrazon.
