1 Crime Of Opportunity
Mosram Adam and Sul Kipos of Pikit town were arrested after a sting operation by local police busted the pair for robbery. Adam and Kipos allegedly stole a Honda XRM 125 motorcycle that was parked outside on the street in Barangay Rosary Heights. They intended to resell the bike, but perhaps they didn’t go about it in the sneakiest way.
2 That’s My Bike
Alliudin Aliman, the owner of the stolen bike, was taken aback to see his property listed for sale on Facebook. Not only was it posted online, but there were contact numbers for prospective buyers to get in touch. Aliman did get in touch—but he spoke to law enforcement first.
3 Prospective Buyer
Aliman contacted the Cotabato City Police Precinct 1, which is led by Major John Vincent Bravo. Bravo and Aliman came up with a plan to get the bike back and catch the thieves who took it. Aliman contacted the unwitting thieves and pretended he was a buyer who wanted the bike. At that point, the pair had no idea he was the actual owner.
4 Sting Operation
With the help of the police department, Aliman set up a time to get the bike and pay Adam and Kipos the money they were asking for. The sting operation was set—and successful. Instead of getting money for the bike they stole, the alleged criminals found themselves in hot water with law enforcement.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
