00:00A live-in partner who was caught stealing from a vulcanizing shop in Quezon City was arrested.
00:07The two were charged with crime.
00:09First news, James Agustin.
00:15A motorcycle stopped outside a vulcanizing shop in this part of Congressional Avenue in Quezon City around 10 p.m.
00:22The male rider was talked to by the employee of the shop.
00:26After the motorcycle stopped, the rider got off.
00:29He was able to see that the employee was carrying money.
00:32The female rider was left behind in the motorcycle.
00:35In the corner of the CCTV, the man entered the shop and seemed to be looking for something.
00:41After a few seconds, he took the cellphone.
00:45The man returned to the motorcycle and they left the place.
00:49The employee of the shop told that he owns the cellphone.
00:53The man pretended to be a customer who said that he will exchange the motorcycle's wheels.
00:58The problem is that he doesn't have cash.
01:00The man was able to exchange the motorcycle for P1,000 in the nearby shop.
01:05I went there and asked how much he will pay.
01:09He told me that he will return.
01:12He said that he will look for another shop.
01:14It was only for a minute.
01:16I know where I put the cellphone.
01:19That's what I thought.
01:21When I went there, that's it.
01:22I don't have my cellphone.
01:24The theft was confirmed with the help of the CCTV.
01:28He was in a hurry, sir.
01:29He asked me to review the CCTV.
01:32When I reviewed the CCTV,
01:35there were two men and two women.
01:40Then, he took my child's cellphone.
01:46The owner of the shop posted the incident on social media.
01:50Just an hour later,
01:52the salarymen who were buying food in Barangay Bagbag in Novaliches were caught red-handed.
01:58The victim's cellphone was returned to them.
02:00While we were doing the rubbing,
02:02the youths asked us for help.
02:05They said that the suspect was the one who posted the incident.
02:09So, we went there and arrested them.
02:13He's not a resident of Barangay Bagbag.
02:16He's just an outsider.
02:17He was just sent to our area.
02:19The 27-year-old man-rider was arrested.
02:22His 29-year-old live-in partner admitted to the crime.
02:28We were just robbed, sir.
02:30But what did you do with the cellphone?
02:32We just returned it, sir.
02:34I'm sorry, sir. We won't do it again.
02:38From Novaliches, the suspects were turned over to Holy Spirit Police Station
02:43which is involved in the theft.
02:45They were facing two charges of theft.
02:48This is the first news.
