HPG 11 conducting more anti-carnap ops

AFTER unmasking the Baktin carnap syndicate led by the elusive Ryan Yu, the Highway Patrol Group 11 is not done yet.
“Expect more anti-carnapping operations in the few days to come. We have still a lot of unfinished business,” HPG 11 regional director Sr. Supt. Gregorio Pimentel said in an interview Thursday afternoon in his office on Candelaria Street,Ecoland here.
Pimentel said, “We have already identified the targets and are just waiting for the right time and opportunity.”
He confirmed that there are still many car owners in Davao City who have bought carnapped luxury vehicles from Yu’s group but are pretending to legally own the cars.
“They should better voluntarily surrender these stolen vehicles to us before they themselves face the carnapping charges if we catch them using those cars during our operations,” he said.
Pimentel said those who will voluntarily endorse their cars to HPG will be subject to investigation and inspection to clear their names in case they bought them from carnappers.
In a series of raids since last week, operatives of HPG 11 and Davao City Police office already recovered 30 vehicles, mostly made Toyota brand, from warehouses and shops owned by Yu, who was tagged as Mindanao’s most notorious carnapper.
They also dug up 11 pieces of Toyota keys and 10 sets of plate numbers from Yu’s shop in Barangay Wilfredo Aquino, Agdao district here.
Reports have it that Yu may already have left the country and said to have been spotted in Thailand. [ASA]
