The Mandaluyong police issued this warning to the public Tuesday in response to a criminal syndicate using young boys to rob cab drivers and their passengers. Senior Superintendent Carlos de Sagun, Mandaluyong police chief, said the modus operandi usually involved a pair of youngsters with one distracting the driver by knocking on his side of the vehicle while his cohort opened the door on the passenger side. “Since the driver is distracted, the other can filch his earnings [on the dashboard] from the other side,” De Sagun said. The official added that since the thieves were minors, they often would get away with the crime and would just be sent to the Department of Social Welfare and Development. In May, operatives of the Mandaluyong police’s Special Operations Group arrested two minors – a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy – for allegedly staging a “bukas kotse [open car]” heist on Edsa. The operation was conducted in response to a complaint filed by Jesus Palmos, a resident of Makati City, who wrote the police regarding the modus operandi. The minors later told investigators they were working for two men who were arrested in follow-up operations from May 21 to May 22 on Edsa, De Sagun said. They were identified as Rodolfo Repollo Jr., 21, and Jerry Cordero, 22, both suspected members of a criminal gang. They were later released after posting bail on theft charges, the police said Yahoo!
