How was he able to get away with his crime for so long?
“Rustico Canlas, 51, who was arrested for breaking into a house in Valenzuela City earlier this week has at least 25 charges filed against him in three cities and five arrest warrants in three other cities, some dating back to 2004,” reports Rey Galupo in The Philippine Star.
The report said that Canlas “has 11 cases filed against him with the Manila Police District, nine in Valenzuela and five in Malabon.”
Canlas is also has arrest warrants issued against him by Quezon City courts for three counts of robbery; Pasig, one count, dating back to 2004; and Antipolo, one count, dating back to 2008, Armamento said.
Canlas was finally arrested by Police Officer 2 Joseph Melpaz, who spotted Canlas by accident. Apparently, Canlas goes to his targeted houses in style. He used a Toyota Corolla (PMY-904) to get around. *Police said Canlas sold the things he stole at ArranqueMarket in Manila.
