A robbery attempt in a subdivision in Barangay Pacol, Naga City was stopped after security guards and police quickly responded to an emergency call, authorities reported Tuesday.
The incident took place at about 8:38 p.m. on February 22 and was relayed through the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s Unified 911 system minutes later.
By 8:47 p.m., personnel from the Naga City Police Office Police Station 4 had already reached the area following the report.
Subdivision guards first noticed a 36-year-old man riding a motorcycle toward the rear portion of the subdivision and entering an unfinished house owned by the victim.
They monitored his actions and restrained him until responding officers arrived at the scene.
Police said the suspect was found carrying electrical wires and tools believed to have been removed from the property, with the recovered items estimated at around Php18,000.
He was informed of the reason for his arrest and apprised of his constitutional rights before being taken to a hospital in Barangay Carolina for medical examination.
After the examination and documentation, the suspect was placed under the custody of Police Station 4 as the investigation concluded later that night.
