CABANATUAN CITY - Local agency of the National Bureau of Investigation here arrested three suspected “Baklas-Sobre” gang members while in the act of pilfering mail materials inside a closed van in this capital city of Nuevo Ecija.Pedro Roque jr., NBI-Cabanatuan chief, indentified the suspects as Doan Lomboy, an employee of the Philippine Postal Corp. office in Gen. Luna St. here; Leonilo Valenzuela of Rizal town, and Rogelio Estabillo of Laur.
Roque said NBI agents led by Special Investigaotors Eddie Guitierrez, Arnaildo Fineza and Oliver Madrid caught the suspects opening two bundles of mail inside a Ford Fiera van parked at a secluded area in Hilltop, Marcos Village. Seized from the three were several mobile phones and dollar and yen bills believed to have been taken from the opened letters and packages.
Roque said several complainants sought his help over missing money and other valuables from their mail.
Surveillance operations helped them track down Lomboy’s group in Marcos Village. On the day of the arrest, he said the Ford Fiera van driven by Estabillo met the postal van driven by Lomboy in the middle of the road where the two mail packs were transferred to the Fierra. Lomboy drove on to Laur after the transfer while NBI agents waited until he returned to pick up the same mail packs he had transferred to the Fierra to launch the raid. “Pagkatapos baklasin ang mail, ang ginagawa nila ay ire-repack uli ito at ibabalik sa dating ayos,” said Roque.
He said the three suspects have been charged with qualified theft before the city prosecutor’s office.
