2 teens nabbed for theft

POLICE arrested two boys aged 13 and 14 who were accused of stealing the bag of a businesswoman containing P100,000 cash and high-end cellphones.

Since they were minors, the boys were turned over to social workers.

The two boys admitted stealing the bag of Enriquita Albano but none of them revealed who took the contents of the bag.

Albano is the owner of Kits Security Agency.

Albano said the bag also contained checks amounting to half a million pesos.

Albano said the theft happened last Thursday in Borromeo Street in barangay Kalubihan, Cebu City.

Albano said she parked her car by the roadside and left the doors unlocked when she alighted to talk to a bank manager.

Albano said her bag, placed beside the driver’s seat, was already missing when she returned to the car.

Witnesses identified the two boys as the ones who stole the bag.

Operatives of the Theft and Robbery Section of the Cebu City Police Office apprehended the boys in A. Lopez Street last Sunday.

The 13-year-old suspect admitted that he was involved in several thefts and confessed he was using illegal drugs.

The boy said he once stole P100,000 from a cash drawer inside a mall. The boy admitted stealing another P50,000 from a separate mall.

The boy said he and his cohorts divided the loot among themselves.

The boy added that part of the loot went to a certain “Nanay” who is the one providing them with food./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
