One of the back riders got off and grabbed her wallet, causing the girl to fall.

The suspects then fled on the motorcycle.

“Napansin po kasi nila na bitbit niya ‘yung wallet while texting. Buti nga hindi naman nakuha ‘yung cellphone, ‘yung wallet po ‘yung nakuha,” said Talipapa Police Chief Lieutenant Colonel Christopher Siriban.

The stolen wallet contained P800. Police arrested two suspects, identified as friends, in a follow-up operation.

The victim recognized one of them, a 26-year-old man with prior records involving robbery.

“Ang naituro po ‘yung isa, may previous na po kasi siyang naging kaso ng robbery din and violation ng \[Republic Act] 9165 o ‘yung anti-illegal drug&,” Siriban added.

Both suspects admitted to the crime, citing hardship as their reason.

“Dala lang po ng pangangailangan po sa buhay… Hindi po sapat kaya kumapit na lang kami sa patalim,” one said.

Authorities are still pursuing the third suspect. The arrested individuals will face robbery charges.
