PASAY police arrested on Monday, Sept. 1, one of the two suspects in the robbery and rape of massage therapists last Aug. 29.
The suspect, identified only as “Alias Jared” of Legazpi City, Albay, was captured through a manhunt ordered by Mayor Imelda “Emi” Calixto-Rubiano.
On Friday, Aug. 29, two armed men allegedly stormed a massage parlor along Cabrera Street, robbing 13 therapists and raping two of the victims before fleeing.
The mayor condemned the crime, saying it has “no place in Pasay City.” She added, “With the help of our Pasay Police and other agencies, we are certain that justice will be served.”
