Police arrested five individuals involved in the theft of underground copper cables in Parañaque City on Sunday, March 22.
Parañaque City Police Chief Col. Nicolas Piñon identified the suspects as John, Roel, George, Bryan, and Adrian. They were apprehended at around 4:50 a.m. along KM 17 West Service Road in Barangay Marcelo Green.
Piñon said the suspects were arrested after a security guard noticed suspicious activity involving a parked vehicle and five men forcibly pulling underground copper cables.
The security guard immediately alerted their zone commander, who coordinated with the Marcelo Green Police Substation, leading to the arrest of the suspects who were caught in the act.
Recovered from the suspects were copper cables worth P201,218.64, cutting tools, and a utility vehicle.
The suspects are currently detained at the police custodial facility and are facing charges for violation of Republic Act 10515, also known as the Anti-Cable Television and Cable Internet Tapping Act of 2013.
