A MAN and his 20-year-old son were charged for allegedly looting two cars in Mandaue City.
Mandaue City police filed complaints for robbery against Domingo Enmil Carungay, 54, and Bryan Lachico Carungay, 20.
The father and son remain at large.
Police said the two were identified when someone was able to jot down the plate number of a multicab that was used by two men who smashed the Toyota Innova of an Amercan national last Sept. 27 on A.S. Fortuna Street in Mandaue.
John Hallman, 59, and his wife Emilda, 65, were inside a store when thieves broke the window of their car and took some belongings inside.
Police said Domingo drove the multicab with plate number GDK-529 with his son as passenger.
Police later found out that the multicab is owned by Godfrey Limalima, 60, a resident of sitio Pinahagbong, barangay Mabolo, Cebu City.
Police went to Limalima’s house. He told police that the multicab was rented for P500 by the father and son.

WOMAN LOSES P10T TO THIEF
A 21-YEAR-OLD woman reported to the police that she was duped by a man who pretended to be an aide of Congressman Arturo Radaza of the Lone District of Lapu-Lapu City.
Bernadette Daculan, 21, said the thief may have heard her husband asking for help over radio dyHP to settle their daughter’s hospital bills.
The woman’s daughter was confined at the Perpetual Succor Hospital in Cebu City due to severe coughing.
The woman said a man who introduced himself as Mark Larcia went to the hospital a day after her husband went to the radio station.
The man said he was told by Radaza to go to the hospital to help settle the bills amounting to P43,000.
The woman said she told the man that she could only afford P10,000.
The woman said she was told by the man not to worry as Radaza would shoulder the remaining amount.
The woman said she gave P10,000 to the man.
The woman said she was processing the payment when the man left the hospital./CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA
