Pasay police reviewing CCTV footage after several youths reportedly went missing

The Pasay City Police has been reviewing CCTV footage as part of the investigation on the reported missing youths in the city, its chief said on Tuesday.

Police Colonel Bernard Yang said that out of the nine rumored missing, five families have officially reported their disappearance to the police on Monday.

“Out of the nine na sinasabing nawawala, lima po doon sa mga kabataang nawawala nagsipag-report na po ang kanilang mga magulang sa aming himpilan, “ Yang said in an interview on Dobol B sa News TV.

“Nagba-backtrack tayo para makuha ang CCTV footage,” he added.

The police already took statements from the family of the missing persons, whose ages range from 16 to 22 years old.

On Monday, Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano ordered the police to look into reports of abductions in the city, particularly within the vicinity of Pasay Rotonda, after rumors circulated on social media. 

Yang encouraged the families of the missing persons to officially report these incidents to the police.

“Ako ay nananawagan na rin sa mga magulang ng ibang nawawala na pumunta na rin sa ating himpilan para makuhanan ng salaysay upang patuloy po kaming makapagimbestiga,” he said. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA News
