Manila, Philippines – Close circuit television cameras (CCTVs) are becoming an effective tool in catching criminals at work.
In Marikina, CCTVs helped security at the Riverside Mall arrest a suspect caught on camera stealing a wallet from the handbag of a woman at a fastfood restaurant.
In Pasay City, police were able to identify a suspect in the theft of a laptop from an employee of the bus line terminal.
Chief Inspector Earl Castillo, chief of the Marikina police Criminal Investigation Division, identified the suspect in the Riverside Mall theft as Teresa Rivera, 43, of Dela Alas Street, Pasay City.
Castillo said Rivera was caught on security cameras at the Riverside Mall stealing the wallet from the bag of Rowena Juanico of Dama de Noche Street, Townsville, Concepcion Uno, Marikina City.
Police said the theft occurred at around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night at a Jollibee branch at the mall while the victim was lining up to order food.
Security guards monitoring the CCTV cameras saw the suspect opening Juanico’s handbag and sneak off with her wallet.
Security then radioed roving guards to accost the suspect before she got away.
The victim’s wallet which contained P12,000 was recovered from the suspect who was brought to the police stations where she is now detained awaiting charges.
Meanwhile, Pasay City police said they are now searching for John Arvic Bella, 29, of Barangay Sto. Niño, Camaligan, Camarines Sur, who was caught sneaking off with a bag containing a laptop by security cameras at the Philtranco Bus Liner terminal at the corner of Epifanio delos Santos Avenue and Apelo Street.
The apparent theft happened last September 2 but the suspect was only discovered after a review of the videotape of the security cameras.
The P30,000 laptop is owned by Dick Callope, Philtranco ticketing officer, who kept it at the terminal’s employees quarters.
The terminal's dispatcher said he saw the suspect roaming around the station before the theft.

CCTV Philippines News: NCRPO Wants Spy Cameras At NAIA Waiting Areas
By Non Alquitran (The Philippine Star) Updated August 27, 2010 12:00 AM Comments (12) View comments
MANILA, Philippines - The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) called yesterday for the installation of closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the waiting areas and parking lots of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Pasay City to curb robberies involving foreign tourists and overseas Filipino workers.
NCRPO chief Director Leocadio Santiago also directed the Pasay City police to review their checkpoints around NAIA to make it difficult for robbers, particularly members of the “Bundol (bump)” gang from going in and out of airport premises.
The Bundol gang’s modus operandi is to tail their victims from the NAIA, rear-end the victims’ vehicle, then rob them when they stop.
Santiago said he will coordinate with NAIA general manager Angel Honrado for the installation of the CCTV cameras.
“The CCTV cameras would help us monitor the spotters of the gang in waiting areas and also the plate numbers of vehicles in parking lots,” Santiago said in an interview.
The NCRPO chief issued his call following the rob-slay last Sunday of South Korean missionary Choe Tae Hwan, who fetched his colleagues from NAIA. Robbers blocked the path of their car and shot Choe when he fought back.
Santiago said businessman George Bernas, a brother-in-law of former presidential daughter Luli Arroyo; an American in Mandaluyong City and a Chinese family in Manila were robbed after they left NAIA.
Though the Eastern Police District (EPD) are still determining whether the Bundol gang were also behind the rob-slay of Choe, Santiago said “it is the NAIA which served as a common denominators of these robberies. So we must tighten our security arrangement at the airport and we can do that with the utmost cooperation of Gen. Honrado.”
The NCRPO chief vowed to make the neutralization of the Bundol gang as their top priority especially with the expected influx of Filipino workers returning home for Christmas.
Santiago also directed Superintendent Remus Medina, head of the NCRPO’s regional police intelligence and operations unit, to deploy teams to go after the gang.
