16 NABBED FOR ILLEGAL CABLE WIRE THEFT IN SAN JUAN; MINOR RESCUED

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through the joint efforts of the Eastern Police District and the San Juan City Police Station, arrested 16 individuals involved in the illegal cutting and hauling of underground copper cables in San Juan City in the early hours of May 5, 2026.

The operation was conducted at around 12:15 a.m. along Araullo Street, Barangay Addition Hills, following a tip from a concerned citizen. The suspects were caught in the act of cutting and loading the cables. Among those arrested was a 48-year-old male identified by the alias “Gabe,” while another individual believed to be the group’s leader, known as “Pipoy,” remains at large. A minor was also rescued during the operation.

Recovered from the suspects were underground copper cable wires owned by a telecommunications company with an estimated value of ₱456,159.49. Authorities also seized tools and equipment allegedly used in the activity, including a closed van, another vehicle, bolt cutters, steel bars, and other items used to access underground cable lines.

Charges for violation of Republic Act No. 10515 (Anti-Cable Television and Cable Internet Tapping Act of 2013) and theft under the Revised Penal Code are being prepared against the arrested individuals.

This operation forms part of the PNP’s intensified efforts under its Focused Agenda on Enhanced Managing Police Operations, reinforcing ongoing initiatives to protect critical infrastructure and public utilities. It also supports the broader directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to ensure public safety and safeguard essential services.

PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., commended the operating units for their swift and coordinated response.

“Hindi natin palalampasin ang mga ganitong gawain na nakakaapekto sa serbisyo at kapakanan ng ating mga kababayan. We will continue to act on credible reports and respond quickly to protect public interest,” he said.

The PNP assures the public of its continuing commitment to responsive and people-centered policing in line with its vision of Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.
