00:07He was planning to sell the stolen cell phone for money.
00:11Here is the first news, James Agustin.
00:16The police officer was riding a motorcycle while carrying out a follow-up operation.
00:20He was with the woman who was the victim of the hold-up on IBP Road in Quezon City.
00:25They were about to stop when they saw the victim, who was next to the suspect who was not far from him.
00:38The police officer immediately went to the scene.
00:47The 31-year-old man was arrested by the suspect.
00:49He was caught with a gun in his bag, loaded with bullets.
00:53The stolen cell phone that was in the bag of the man was also recovered.
00:56The victim pointed out positively that he owned the cell phone.
01:00According to the police, it was only after watching the pageant of the 36-year-old victim of an online seller that the crime happened.
