The two cellular phones of Kabankalan City Vice Mayor Miguel Zayco, all worth P130,000, were recovered Tuesday from three suspects through the GPS or Global Positioning System, the police said.
The suspects were identified as Wowie Uy, 30, of Brgy. Tabao in Valladolid, and Melvin Cosio, 34, and Rose Linao, 31, both of Barangay Mambulac in Silay City.
Zayco told the police that he discovered his iPhone 13 Pro Max, worth P70,000, and Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, valued at P60,000, and placed in a black bag, gone, as the city celebrates its 25th Charter anniversary.
Through the phones’ GPS, the units were tracked and recovered from the three suspects, who were on board a blue Rusi 125 and tried to evade the police.
They were arrested early this evening, August 2, at the national highway in Sitio Naga, Barangay Suay in Himamaylan City, and are now under the custody of the Kabankalan Police Station./SGG
