Solon’s wife loses car to thieves in Quezon City

THE wife of Pangasinan Rep. Amado Espino Jr. became the latest carjacking victim in Quezon City when car thieves took her Nissan Patrol at gunpoint the other night.

Driver Ceasar Elevazo, 46, said he had parked the vehicle owned by Pricilla Ignacio-Espino in front of Star drugstore along Visayas Avenue at 9:30 p.m. where he had gone to buy medicines.

When Elevazo returned to the car, three armed men came and ordered him to get out of the vehicle, according to PO2 Kristo John Ramirez of the Quezon City police’s anticarnapping unit.

One of the suspects then got on the driver’s seat, while the others forced him into the back seat, Elevazo told police. Ignacio-Espino was not in the vehicle, a 2005 model with plate number XRZ-620, at the time of the incident, police said.

The suspects drove around for a few minutes before they let the driver out in Barangay Baesa where the suspects left him. Elevazo said he could not remember the suspects’ faces, as well as the make and type of their short firearms.

Ramirez said Elevazo was asked to look at photos and artists’ sketches of suspected car thieves, but he was unable to identify anyone in the lineup.

[mazdamazda]

ano ba yun... hindi matandaan ang mukha... or even yung mga dalang baril...

[edl100]

This is a joke. Obvious na inside job yon.

I always pass by that South Star Drugstore at night in Visayas and it is a safe place. It has a security guard there. You are very visible there since the parking is just a few arms length from the guard and entrance.

This is the place beside that lola idangs restaurant.

No carjackings in QC since May 11
The Philippine Star 05/22/2006

The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) reported yesterday that no carjacking incidents have been reported in their jurisdiction since May 11 when members of a car theft syndicate were nabbed.

Superintendent James Brillantes, QCPD intelligence chief, said it only shows that the group of Ernesto Sabagaen, alias Mark Reyes, 42, a businessman from Marikina City; and Rolando Gache, 22; was behind the rash of carjackings in Quezon City.

"So far, we received no carjacking report in our area of responsibility since the arrest of Sabagaen and Gache," said Brillantes.

But he admitted that three vehicles were stolen while parked during the period.

Brillantes said they also arrested PO2 Arnold Adto, a member of the Doce Pares robbery gang who also shifted to carjacking to earn easy money. Adto was out on a P160,000 bail.

Brillantes credited the deployment of "secret marshalls" in civilian clothes to Quezon City’s carjacking-prone areas like Visayas Avenue, Mindanao Avenue, Congressional Avenue and Quezon Avenue and EDSA to the speedy arrest of Sabagaen and Gache.

"My men were deployed to carjacking-prone areas on board a civilian vehicle. When a call reporting an attempted carjacking of a RAV-4 was received, they all rushed to the area and two suspects were arrested," said Brillantes.

Sabagaen and Gache were arrested last May 11 after a brief gunbattle with secret marshalls in Caloocan City.

The two carjacked a vehicle owned by Pangasinan Rep. Amada Espino.

Espino’s driver, Ceasar Elivazo, 44, positively identified Sabagaen and Gache as the suspects who forcibly took the lawmaker’s Nissan Patrol, with license plate XRM-620, in front of a drugstore along Visayas Ave., in Barangay Baesa.

The two suspects then led Brillantes to Porac, Pampanga where Espino’s vehicle was recovered.

Brillantes said Sabagaen and Gache have posted a P900,000 bail each for their temporary liberty.

Because of the incident, QCPD director Chief Superintendent Nicasio Radovan implemented a three-strike policy on carjacking cases for precinct commanders.

"The three-strike policy of Gen. Radovan and the deployment of secret marshals in carjacking-prone areas helped us attain the zero carjacking incidents for the past several days," said Brillantes. — Non Alquitran
