‘Drug lord aided Reyes brods’
Phone located
Using the triangulation method, the task force said, the Interpol technical team was able to trace the exact location of the phone that the Reyeses were using to call their relatives and friends in the Philippines while they were hiding on Phuket.
“The phone number location was fixed in one place and the phone activities were unusual from time to time. It appears that the [users turn on] the phone only to check for incoming message and then turn the phone off again after it was attended or answered,” the task force said.
The task force said most of the calls from Phuket were made to users in Barangay II and Barangay VI, Poblacion in Coron and Barangay Guyong in Santa Maria, Bulacan province.
The Reyeses also frequently called a phone number of a user located in the upscale Alabang Golf and Country Club in Muntinlupa City.
“After months of stakeout and surveillance operations the [Thai police and the] Interpol were able to pinpoint [the rented house of the Reyeses,” the task force said.
