Jay-R Rosales, 24 year old, was caught almost immediately after he stole the cell phone of a University of the Philippines student at the Philcoa pedestrian overpass in Quezon City on Tuesday.
A bystander shouted for help after Rosales was seen stealing the cell phone from Jessa Joy Atayde. Fortunately, a motorcycle volunteer who was passing by under the overpass heard the shouts and went towards a QCPD patrol car to inform them of the crime. The police officers arrested Rosales as he was still within the area.
According to Inquirer News, the motorcycle volunteer program was instituted last week to help against crimes, specially those committed by motorcycle riders.
