“Tinanong ko po kung anong nangyari. May ilan daw na nagrereklamo na pinasok sa bahay,” the official said.
The official added that the complainants were advised to have the suspect detained instead.
“Sabi ko sa kanila, kung ano, ipakulong niyo na lang po,” the barangay representative said.
Days before the mauling, the man had reportedly been seen several times carrying items believed to have been stolen.
According to the report, he was spotted the previous week walking through an alley in Barangay 100 while carrying an LPG stove.
In the early hours of September 8, CCTV footage also reportedly showed him in the Happy Land area with bananas and a pair of shoes that were allegedly taken from Tayuman Street.
The same footage showed the man changing his shirt and leaving the one he had removed near parked tricycles.
Barangay 105 officials also said the suspect had been the subject of a complaint the previous week involving an allegedly stolen cellphone.
In a barangay video featured by Unang Balita, the man was questioned about the cellphone and reportedly admitted that he intended to sell it.
An official said they were able to recover a cellphone from him following a theft complaint.
Barangay personnel further alleged that the man had also been involved in stealing from trucks passing along Mel Lopez Boulevard.
People who climb onto trucks to take cargo or other items are commonly referred to in the area as “jumper boys.”
One barangay official described the suspect as someone who had allegedly been involved in similar incidents several times.
Despite the accusations against him, the alleged theft cases remain matters for authorities to investigate and determine through the proper legal process.
The suspect was eventually turned over to police so the appropriate complaint could be filed. GMA's report said authorities were still trying to obtain his statement regarding the allegations.
