A 17-year-old girl was arrested for attempting to kidnap two girls — one aged 10 and the other aged 14 — in Tondo, Manila on Sun, Nov 8.
“Barangay 13 chairman Mario Macapagal brought the suspect to the Manila Police District (MPD) Station 2 after residents of Sandino Street attacked her when the grandmother of the 10-year-old girl sought their help at past 8am,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
The report added: “An aunt of the 14-year-old victim said they followed the victims, who were on their way to a store, and saw them running when the suspect after she grabbed their money.”
The MPD revealed that “the teenager’s modus operandi is to look for girls who are either on an errand or simply walking on the street unaccompanied.”
They went on to say that the teen then “snatches their money or lures them to make them follow her to a waiting vehicle, where her accomplices will snatch the girls.”
The MPD is now trying to locate the vehicle of the suspect’s accomplices.
