TWO carnapped motorcycles were returned to their respective owners after the suspected carnappers were nabbed by city police, last week, C/Insp. Michael Palermo said.
Palermo identified the alleged carnappers as Ronnie Agner, a resident of Purok Malamboon, Balangasan, this city, and Jonathan Patarata, a resident of Ramon Magsaysay, Zamboanga del Sur.
Agner was alleged to have carnapped the parked black Honda XRM 110 motorcycle of a certain Jerson King last July 19 and took it for a ride in Tigbao where town police there intercepted him after setting up a road block.
Patarata, on the other hand, was arrested, July 20, after the owner of a stolen motorcycle identified as Ricardo Bongolan, a retired policeman residing in Lower Pulacan, Labangan, reported that his yellow Honda XRM was lost and believed carnapped after he parked it at the entrance gate of the San Pedro Fishport.
Palermo said they immediately informed all operating units and nearby municipal police stations and conducted a hot pursuit operation against the perpetrator.
The police chief added that they recovered Bongolan’s motorcycle parked at Purok Osmena in Sto. Nino District in Patarata’s possession.
Carnapping charges were filed against the two suspects who are now detained at the PNP lock-up cell.
In June, two stolen motorcycles were reported as recovered by the Zamboanga del Sur Police Provincial Office as PNP Prov. Dir. S/Supt. Ramon Ochotorena said his office has conducted 35 round-the-clock operations against carnapping around Zambosur.
Mayor Samuel Co, for his part, commended the PNP for its relentless campaign against all forms of criminality in the city, saying such an accomplishment matched his vision for a peaceful and progressive Pagadian.
