A man was caught on closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera stealing pieces of jewelry worth approximately P112,000 from an apartment unit in Iloilo City.

The video showed that the burglar, with a concealed face, sneaked in an apartment unit in Barangay Calubihan, Jaro District dawn on August 10, 2025.

Based on police investigation, no one was around in the apartment unit at that time, as the tenant reportedly went home.

The suspect gained entry through the window of a room on the second floor.

"Pinunit niya ang screen, tinanggal niya ang jalousies and then ang entrance niya, doon sa kwarto ng anak ng may-ari," Major Eduardo Siacon, Jr., chief of Iloilo City Police Station 9, said.

The suspect was also caught on camera outside of the apartment at 5:51 a.m. on August 10, 2025.

Authorities have established the identity of the suspect to be alias “Jose,” a resident of Poblacion, Molo District.

He was reportedly a former worker at the said apartment.

“Mayroon silang hindi pagkakaintindihan. So, more than a year na hindi na siya pinagtatrabaho. So, na-identify natin through sa information rin nila na ang suspek at ang tao na iyon ay the same," Siacon added.

The tenant and owner of the jewelry refused an interview. 

The suspect is being tracked down, as of this writing.
