Wanted: Thief who stole cellphones from Yolanda volunteers then took selfies

A man in a pink shirt, seen hanging around near a group of Yolanda volunteers in Villamor Air Base, is wanted for stealing mobile phones and other valuables from volunteers while they were busy receiving weary evacuees from Tacloban, reports When In Manila‘s Vince Golangco.

The suspect, whose victims assumed was a fellow volunteer, was so enamored by his haul that he took selfies with his stolens goods before getting rid of them. Alas, there is such a thing as technology.

One of the victims — a friend of Golangco — had synced her photo album to a Dropbox account.

And that’s how we have the picture above. 

Unleash the Internet lynchmob on this lowlife!
