DUMAGUETE CITY -- The Provincial Highway Patrol Team in Negros Oriental, in coordination with the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), arrested three suspected car thieves as they disembarked from an inter-island vessel coming from Cebu Sunday night here.
Provincial team leader Sr. Insp. Robelito Mariano identified the three suspects as Jason Louis Bandoy of Bacong, reportedly a son of a doctor; Joefren Elorta Pis-an from Dauin and Ronel Yu Domen of Valencia, all in Negros Oriental, for violation of RA 10883 or the anti-carnapping law as amended and RA 9165 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Drugs Act of 2002.
They were intercepted at the port of Dumaguete with a suspected stolen vehicle.
Mariano said the three rented a Mitsubishi Montero from a rent-a-car in Bagacay, this city, whose registered owner is Caroline T. Yanzon last October 4. For 17 days, the suspects failed to return it despite pleadings from the owner.
Mariano said the whereabouts of the suspects were tracked via GPS.
Illegal drugs paraphernalia including a digital weighing scale were recovered from the vehicle, Mariano said.
Further investigations showed that Bandoy had a previous case of violation of the anti-drugs law but was dismissed. (PNA)
