Dump truck stolen, sold by Bulacan LGU utility helper, 3 others
Authorities are searching for the utility helper of the Marilao, Bulacan local government unit (LGU) and three others after they stole and sold a government dump truck.
According to Oscar Oida's Monday report on '24 Oras,' CCTV footage showed the two men driving away the truck from the Municipal Engineering Office.
Based on police investigation, the suspects brought the truck to a wet market in Guiguinto, Bulacan, loaded it into a bigger truck the next day, and passed through the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX).
The suspects are the Municipal Engineering Office's utility helper, his wife and cousin, and another person.
The suspects allegedly sold the truck for P100,000 to a buyer from San Mateo, Rizal, who resold the truck for P400,000 after allegedly producing fake documents.
Authorities, by backtracking of CCTV footage, found the stolen truck with the second buyer after two weeks.
The four suspects are facing carnapping charges.
Meanwhile, authorities are looking into filing charges against the buyers for violating the Anti-Fencing Law. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/LDF, GMA Integrated News
