According to the report, CCTV footage captured the robbery inside the Korean mart in April. The armed suspect allegedly took three mobile phones and around P100,000 in cash from the store before escaping on a motorcycle with another man.
More than a month later, the 24-year-old suspect was arrested after allegedly refusing to stop at a police checkpoint operated by Alvarez PCP along Rizal Avenue. He was reportedly inside a utility van with a 21-year-old woman he was courting at the time of the incident.
Police said officers chased the vehicle after it failed to stop during the operation.

“Hindi po huminto sa oplansita kaya po hinabol ng tropa hanggang nahuli po sa karikada,” an officer said. “Iche-check lang po sana natin ’yung license nila kung mayroon talaga at saka ’yung ORCR.”
Authorities allegedly recovered several sachets of suspected shabu and a firearm believed to have been used in the earlier robbery. The gun has also been subjected to ballistic examination.
During the investigation, police found out that the utility van being used by the suspect had reportedly been stolen in Nueva Ecija days before the arrest. Authorities also allegedly discovered conversations on the suspect’s cellphone discussing a possible buyer for the vehicle in Manila.
A 35-year-old businessman, who claimed to be the owner of the missing van, shared how quickly the incident happened.
“Mabilis ’yung pangyayari sir e. Naka-motor siya eh. Iniwan niya ’yung motor, sinakyan niya ’yung L300, umalis siya tapos mga ilang minuto bumalik siya, may kasama na siya kumuha ng motor,” the victim said.
The suspect refused to comment on the accusations against him.
“Wala. Sa korte na lang po,” he said when asked for a statement.
Meanwhile, the woman accompanying him claimed she had no knowledge of the suspect’s alleged activities and said she was only invited to go out.
“Ang alam ko lang po mamamasyal lang po ako. Nandliligaw lang po ’yan sa akin. Nadamay po ako na wala po akong kasalanan,” she explained.
The suspect and the woman are currently under the custody of the Santa Cruz Police Station as authorities prepare multiple charges against the man. Police are also investigating whether he is connected to other robbery cases and identifying his alleged accomplice in both the Korean mart robbery and the reported theft of the utility van.
