TWO male teenagers, including a minor, were arrested after they allegedly robbed a motorcycle at Barangay 6 in Isabela, Negros Occidental Thursday, September 13.
Police withheld the name of the 17-year-old suspect while his companion was identified as Leomar Visca, 18, of Barangay Nanunga.
The suspects reportedly carted away a motorcycle owned by 26-year-old Jimuel Flores Jr. of Barangay 6 Poblacion, which was parked outside of his residence, police records showed.
The suspects then ran after they were caught by the victim and some bystanders, leaving the stolen motorcycle.
They were found hiding at the town’s rural center several hours later.
