A man suspected of stealing from a convenience store in Agoo, La Union, and later from a business establishment in Baguio City, is now facing multiple robbery charges.

Closed circuit television (CCTV) footage showed the man loitering outside a convenience store in Agoo, La Union before entering.

Inside, he was caught on video taking various goods and cash worth about P50,000, according to the store owner. The footage also showed the suspect carrying a box as he left the store and boarded a tricycle.

“Ang lahat ng nakuha niya malaking halaga, mga sigarilyo, cash at imported na chocolates,” Kronika Bulanadi, the store owner, said.

The owner, who has already identified the suspect, filed a formal complaint with the police.

Police said the suspect later went to Baguio City, where he entered another establishment and took a gadget and cash.

“Nakita ng security guard ang suspek sa loob ng establishment. So, noong sitahin siya, sinabi ng suspek na iihi lang daw. Noong usisahin siya, biglang tumakbo palabas at sumakay ng taxi. Agad hinabol ng security guard ang suspek at hinila palabas ng taxi,” PMaj. Marcy Grace Marron, spokesperson of the Baguio City Police Office, said.

Authorities in Baguio have filed a robbery with force upon things case against the suspect and are preparing more charges for theft incidents in the city in recent months.

“Natutuwa kami kasi nahuli na siya, kasi sa totoo lang, natatakot kami na baka bumalik siya dito. Sa mga previous niyang ninakawan ay binabalikan niya para pagnakawan ulit,” Bulanadi said.

Police are investigating his possible involvement in other incidents.
