The apartment owner was on a two weeks vacation when the theft happened.
Among the items taken away by the thief are gas stove, LPG tank, bicycle, shoes, helmet, laptop, printer, and jewelry.
“Pag-open ko ng gate, nakita ko na open na ‘yung padlock and then sira na ‘yung doorknob at window namin. And then pag-open ko ng house, nakita ko na wala na ‘yung valuable things namin and gulo-gulo ‘yung buong house,” the victim shared.
The barangay desk officer said he saw a man coming out of the apartment gate with an LPG tank and a gas stove.
The suspect, identified as Robert Apolinar, was apprehended during a subsequent police operation. He was also a resident of the aforementioned barangay and had previously been involved in the theft incident.
