A report from the Raxabago police station identified the burglar as Aldrin Pascua of Barangay 104.
He was arrested at 2:30 a.m. after the homeowner, Shirley Mendoza, saw him inside her house.
She promptly asked for help from her neighbors who called up the police.
Mendoza said Pascua took her cell phone and wallet containing P1,500 in cash.
Senior Insp. Jerves Soriano, Raxabago police station duty officer, said Pascua would be charged with robbery. —Aie Balagtas See
