It’s an awful average.
“According to a report from the Highway Patrol Group (HPG), an average of four vehicles were stolen in Metro Manila daily during the first three months of 2014,” reports Cecille Suerte Felipe in The Philippine Star.
The HPG’s records showed that there were 137 car thefts in January, 129 in February and 115 in March, all in National Capital Region. The stolen vehicles included jeepneys, motorcycles, cars, and trucks.
The numbers translate to “4.2 vehicles stolen daily for the first three months of the year.”
That’s alarming because the 2013 average is 1.8 stolen vehicles per day in 2013.
