Caloocan police get 1st case of carjacking in months

From inq7.net
JUST WHEN they thought they had eliminated carjacking in their jurisdiction for good, Caloocan City police received its first case of carjacking in months.

Chief Inspector Cresencio Galvez, the city’s intelligence chief, said a Ford Expedition with plate number WWW-888 was stolen along Biglang-Awa Street in the city at around 8:30 p.m. Thursday night.

Galvez said the luxury car's driver identified as Edgar V. Sermona told investigators that three armed men forcibly took the vehicle while he was on board.

"This the first carjacking case we had in months,'' Galvez said.

He said follow-up operations against suspects were ongoing.

While Galvez said the Ford Expedition was the first case of carjacking in months, a report indicated it was actually the second incident of car theft in the past eight days.

The Northern Police District’s consolidated report on carnapping incidents from November 17 to 23 showed that a Toyota Corolla Taxi was stolen while parked at the corner of Biglang-awa and Macapagal Sts in Caloocan City.

The report said nine motorcycles were reported stolen, four each from Caloocan and Malabon City, and one from Valenzuela City.

ayan na naman sila...

Last year, Oct 2005, my fraternity brod's ford everest was forcibly taken from him, shot him several times, and left him half-dead at Shell Congressional Road. Luckily, he is now up and about. Baka narinig nyo yung balita na to dati.

Ingat ulit tayo mga bro, nandyan ulit sila.

Brod din ng kapatid ko yun and I refuel at that Shell Station. Unfortunately, Shell Congressional is within the jurisdiction of Quezon City already (carnap capital).

Caloocan is more known for motorcycle theft.

MANILA, Philippines – A Caloocan resident lost her sports utility vehicle to a lone carjack suspect early dawn Tuesday.

Jamymee Rose Quinto said she just parked her white Mitsubishi Montero Sport (NQR 900) in her garage along Malvar Street around 12 a.m. when an unidentified man approached her.

At gunpoint, the suspect forcibly took her vehicle and drove off towards the direction of Cubao.

Quinto was not able to recognize the face of the suspect.

“Basta nakita ko naka-cap siya...parang pang dancing...pang hip hop...tapos naka-jacket na matangkad,” she said.

Quinto added that her laptop, wallet and other documents were also in the vehicle.

Authorities have conducted a follow-up operation and set up checkpoints to arrest the carjacker. – Report from Raffy Santos, ABS-CBN News

in-demand ang Monterosport no?

[Mguy]

Eto paminsan di ko maintindihan. Alam na usong uso ang nakawan ngayon and favorite vehicles ay Montero and Fortuner. Pero bili ng bili ang mga female drivers nitong models na ito.

ang daming carnapping cases ngayon involving SUV's like fortuner and montero.. they can buy vehicles worth 1.4million up but they cant spend 10k on GPS tracking alarm... makes finding the criminals a lot easier..

in Phil. middle income class, a new Monterosport is a status symbol

[tidus1203]

Delusional. I don't know how a mass market SUV that you see everywhere can be considered status symbols. Shouldn't status symbols be RARE and FEW and EXCLUSIVE?

Correct. It really depends from which part of the totem pole you're viewing it from. To the poor, a shiny stainless owner jeep would make you top dog. With the middle class, it's your Monteros and Fortuners. To the uber-rich, BMWs, MBs, and Lexus doesn't even cut it for them anymore. To them, ANY car is strictly hoi-polloi and just a means of conveyance. Their talking private jets man! - Gulfstreams, Embraer, and Citations are their MBs of the sky!

I think those are the standard cars really. Go to malls such as Trinoma, Megamall, SM North and you can almost stereotype those who buy such vehicles.

As for me, I personally see the Monty Sport and Fortuner for the middle class (primary car) and upper-middle to affluent (secondary car). Those with real money either buy an Innova, big van (Hiace/Starex), or high end Japs such as the Land Cruiser... then you have the Range Rover, BMW and American SUV guys. This is just my opinion.

When my wife finally learns to drive, i'm getting her a Crosswind (although in-demand ito sa provinces so baka nakawin pa rin). :D

money is intended to be spent...whats the use of working hard if you can't spend your money and buy luxuries...

Its not the car owners fault that he has the money to buy a vehicle,, its the authorities job to protect those citizens that pays their salaries through taxes...

I have to agree. Hindi naman tayo mayamang bansa. Maski ako nagagandahan sa Montero/Fortuner lalo na't hindi ko afford. Kaya minsan ok din na yung hindi gaanong sikat na brand/model ang bilhin mo para hindi pansinin.

We're a 3rd world $hithole so pag ka-afford ka ng brand new car milyonaryo ka. Since you know, cars on average cost literally a million.

[first_light]

It's always important na kasama yung carnap/carjack sa insurance. No hassle.
About GPS tracker? Baka naman may pang track or hack mga carnappers/jackers? Uso pa naman phone hacking ngayon. Hehehe...

Point is its not really the price, the mere fact that is so common even in a THIRD WORLD $**Thole according to you does not make it qualify as a status symbol. Parang Nokia 3210 na sa dami ang Montero Sport eh as if naman anyone would be impressed. Status symbols sets you apart from the crowd. For many people P1.5M is a lot of money, but really it not status symbol anymore because its so common... Pang masa ika nga!
