Cops arrest four Bacolodnons for allegedly stealing crude oil

Four Bacolodnons were arrested after they were allegedly caught siphoning fuel from a reserve tank in Barangay Poblacion, Cauayan, Negros Occidental, Monday, September 5.

Nabbed were Barangay Banago residents Rommel Negre, 38, Emilio Lumantad, 41, and Rogelio Pendon, 39; and Rosine Marie Tentiya, 30, of Barangay 1.

A concerned citizen reported to the police that a suspicious red pick-up truck was parked in front of a cell site.

When the police validated the report, they caught Lumantad allegedly stealing a crude oil at the cell site while the others were waiting in the vehicle.

Recovered from their possession were a bolt cutter, a hack saw, and 15 containers, including the one loaded with crude oil.

Also recovered from them were two homemade shotguns with seven live ammunition
