Kidnapped Chinese rescued, 6 suspects arrested
AGENTS of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Thursday afternoon rescued unharmed a 23-year-old Chinese POGO worker who was abducted by his compatriots believed to be members of a gang kidnapping their compatriots for ransom, Philippine National Police chief General Guillermo Lorenzo T. Eleazar said.
The top cop said that six abductors of the male Chinese national were arrested during an operation in Parañaque City launched by the local police following reports about the kidnapping of the victim.
Citing reports from NCRPO director Major Gen. Vicente D. Danao Jr., Eleazar said the victim was snatched by the suspects around 1:40 p.m. Thursday in Bradco Avenue corner Cuinco Street, Aseana, Bgy. Tambo in Parañaque City and forced into a Toyota Hi Ace Super Grandia van.
The commotion caught the attention of hotel security personnel who immediately reported the incident to the Parañaque City Police Sub-Station 2.
Officers who responded to the scene arrested suspects Li Yang, Zhou Hao, Liu Jie Yong, Zhang Jia Hao and Qui You Bo and their driver Nelson Malavega.
All five suspects are now under the custody of the Parañaque City police. They will be facing criminal charges.
“I commend our ground operatives for immediate action on the reported kidnapping case which resulted to the arrest of these suspects,” Eleazar said.
“At tayo ay nagpapasalamat din sa pagtawag agad ng responde ng ating kumunidad para marescue ang nasabing biktima at naiwas sya sa posibleng kapahamakan sa kamay ng mga kidnapers na ito. In line of our cleanliness in the community under Intensified Cleanliness Policy, kaisa ng ating kapulisan ang kumunidad na linisin at sugpuin ang kriminalidad para sa kaayusan ng ating bansa,” Eleazar added.
