MANILA, Philippines — Two suspected pickpockets were arrested on Sunday evening for allegedly taking the wallet of a male spectator at the motorcade of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte tandem in Las Piñas, the Southern Police District (SPD) reported on Monday.

The suspects — identified as Janice Midoranda, 38; and Criselda Aleonar, 42 — were arrested in front of a mall on Alabang Zapote Road in Barangay Talon Uno.

The spectator reported the incident to the police who were able to immediately nab the suspects.

A case of theft will be filed against the two suspects.

This was not the first time that people who attended the campaign rally of the tandem had their belongings stolen.

Last March 8, some attendees of their rally in Bulacan reported losing their cell phones and wallets.
