CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – A fast police response by the police on Monday led to the arrest of a motorcycle thief in Bgy. Dau, Mabalacat City, Pampanga

Pampanga police director Col. Jay Dimaandal  said the victim was Rafael, 30, of Malolos City, Bulacan.

Rafael parked his white motorcycle outside Mabuti Apartment in Pineda Subdivision and left.

Two suspects — a 42-year-old man from Sta. Teresita, Angeles City, and a 37-year-old man from Cuayan, Angeles City — allegedly stole the unattended motorcycle.

The victim sought help from patrolling officers from the Mabalacat Police Tactical Motorcycle Riding Unit (TMRU).

The officers launched a follow-up operation and spotted the suspects dragging a motorcycle. 

One of the suspects was arrested while the other eluded arrest.
