Camille Prats gets her phone back after it was stolen during Blackpink concert


Camillle Prats got her phone back after it was stolen during the concert of K-pop group Blackpink at the Philippine Arena.

On Instagram Stories, the "AraBella" shared that her mobile phone was stolen from her bag before the show started on Sunday.

Once she realized that her phone was gone, she called her husband John "VJ" Yambao so he could erase all the data and mark the phone as lost using Camille's laptop.

The Sparkle actress also shared that she previously installed a tracker on her phone so she could trace its location. At some point during the night of the concert, her mobile phone was still at the arena.

On March 27, based on the tracker, the couple were able to track the house where the phone was at. They enlisted the help of the police, as well as the homeowner's association of the village where the phone was located.

She said the people who resided in the home denied that anyone even went to the concert.

The couple and the police tried to review the CCTV camera to determine who entered the village during the time period when Camille's phone entered there.

At 1 p.m., the phone's location changed to "near IBP Road" then to a grocery store on Commonwealth Avenue.

The couple followed it together with the police, but at some point, they decided to stop following it because it felt like they "chasing a mouse."

At 4 p.m., Camille said the tracker placed the phone at the police station. They were able to confirm that the phone was with the police as someone surrendered it to the authorities via a motorcycle delivery service.

Camille said she and VJ were both in tears. She also went on to share her realizations from her experience.

"Don't be scared to ask for help," she wrote on IG Stories.

She said the police were helpful and that they didn't know it was her at first because she wore a hat and a mask.

"God knows our hearts and we really wanted to deal with this as peacefully as we can. No harsh words, no accusations. Never ending pakiusap lang talaga," she said.

"Who would've thought na babalik 'yung phone not by force from the person who has it but by him simply sending it to a police station to return it. Only God can make that happen," she added.
