A man wearing a black shirt walked around the vehicle several times. He later carried an object from the side of the truck and loaded it onto the tricycle.
He returned for another item, placed it inside, and covered it with a black cloth before leaving.
According to the barangay, the truck belonged to the barangay captain. Two batteries with a combined value of ₱15,000 were allegedly taken.
The captain posted still images from the CCTV footage on social media. Those images showed the man’s clothing and the tricycle used during the incident.
Someone then contacted him and sent screenshots of a tricycle allegedly involved in another theft that same day. This time, the missing items were fighting roosters.
“Same tricycle tapos ah ganun din yung plate number, same description,” the captain said while explaining the information sent to him.
The rooster owner said he had actually seen one of the suspects coming out of his chicken enclosure. A tricycle was waiting nearby.
“Naaktuhan ko sila at may isang tricycle na nakaabang doon sa kanto. Yun ang getaway nila,” he recalled.
He tried to follow the men, but the tricycle moved too quickly for him to catch up. Two fighting roosters were reportedly taken from him.
The information about the two incidents helped barangay personnel trace the suspects. Following their arrest, the stolen items were recovered from their buyers.
During the interview, one suspect apologized to the rooster owner and said an emergency had prompted his actions. Another apology was directed at the barangay captain whose truck batteries had been taken.
“Pasensya na po, kapitan, at nagawa po namin ’yon. Sana po mapatawad niyo kami,” a suspect said.
At the time of the report, the two men were being held at the Cainta Police custodial facility. They were set to face a theft complaint over the incidents.
