Stolen ship parts recovered

POLICE recovered zinc anodes—metal bars used for corrosion-control in ships—from a junkshop in barangay Pasil, Cebu City.

Police said the metal bars were stolen from a French vessel that docked at the Cebu International Port for a goodwill visit last February.

Senior Supt. Melvin Ramon Buenafe, chief of the Cebu City Police Office, turned over the anodes to the Naval Forces Central (Navforcen) last Wednesday.

Each anode weighed 10 to 15 kilograms and was sold for P70 per kilo.

Police said investigation is ongoing to identify the persons who stole and sold the anodes./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
