Kurukuro warns the public to be aware of a new modus organized by a group of syndicates and children. Kidnapping syndicate recruits kids and teenagers as young as 7 years old as their accomplice in the group’s operation. Minors, mostly street children and recruited from slum areas, are tasked to befriend a target victim. Once the child suspect establishes familiarity with the target, he will invite the victim to go with him and lure away from the eyes of nannies/parents. Once left alone, the kidnappers will snatch the child victim.
Kurukuro reiterates that this new method of operation (MO) perpetrated by a few groups DOES NOT depict that there is a rising case of abduction with the new MO. The purpose of sharing (aside from informing) is for the public to be prudent in keeping the children safe and be aware of their surroundings. Just because the child has new playmates, it doesn’t mean that the parents will let their guard down.

Keeping you informed. Keeping you safe.

You lived in a community wherein you knew people since they were playing on the streets. Every day, you leave and comes back to the place where you think is the safest haven. Homeowners beware! There’s a new robbery holdup scheme that victimized residents. Robbery gang shifts target to nonexclusive residential communities.
Kurukuro warns all homeowners to be aware of a crime gang that preys on homeowners of none exclusive residential communities. Robbery gang shifts target to a neighborhood that has no security guards, no CCTVs and has an easy access to the main roads. Robbers pick these new victims through tipsters or surveillance team. Aside from cash, easily converted to cash like guns, jewelries, laptops and other small electronic devices such as tablets and mobile phones are favorite target to steal.

Intruders Target Homes With Guard Dogs
Just
because you have dogs, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your home is burglar
free.
On
April 18, 2013, armed robbery group members robbed a resident from Barangay
Mendez Crossing East, Tagaytay City, Cavite Province. According to the resident, he was awakened by
a strange noise outside his bedroom and were quite surprise how come all his
guard dogs were not barking. Suspicious on strange noise, he got his gun and
went out to inspect the house perimeter. The resident caught the suspects in
the act of stealing some personal belongings which prompted him to fire a
warning shot. Astounded with the warning shot, the suspects fired back at him.
The quick thinking robbers decided to escape when they noticed that the owner
of the house prepared to defend his family and property. The suspects hurriedly
escape taking with them few valuables through a waiting unmarked vehicle. After
the robbers left the area, the homeowner was shocked to see all five guard dogs
were poisoned. No suspects were arrested.

On
March 4, 2013 at about 2:20AM, unidentified armed men robbed and killed pet
dogs of a couple in Barangay Guinhawa North Tagaytay City in Cavite Province.
While the victims were sleeping in their bedroom, they heard a strange noise
outside their room. A man threatened the victims with a gun as soon as they
went out of the room to look into the strange noise. Both victims were hogtied
as soon as intruders emptied their vault and hurriedly escaped with documents,
cash and valuables. Tagaytay City police discovered that the couple’s two guard
dogs were poisoned. No suspects were arrested.
Nowadays,
criminals are very cunning individuals. Robbery groups are getting more
aggressive and dangerous in these present times. Intruders, who normally scale
perimeter walls, target homes with guard dogs. These homeowners, who feel
secured with their dogs, are being complacent that they will not become
thieves’ target because of their dogs. Kurukuro thinks that burglars, who
resorted to poisoning dogs, have specifically targeted a particular home they wish
to break into. They know (must be through a reliable source?) that they can get
more cash and valuables compared to their other potential targets.

In 2010, Kurukuro reported a robbery gang
that victimized female senior citizens (SYNDICATES TARGET SENIOR CITIZEN http://kurukuronimye.com/2010/08/syndicates-target-senior-citizens/).
The suspects’ modus to befriend unescorted female
elderly, invite them to board their van and robbed them of their belongings. As
soon as they got all the cash and valuables of the poor victim, they will
abandon her penniless but unharmed.
In today’s news, robbery suspects prey on
female senior citizens, abduct and rob them of their cash and valuables. Fear
of being recognized and reported to the police authorities, these criminals
mercilessly kill their defenseless victims. Police recovered several bodies of
the missing senior citizens in Cavite and Cagayan Provinces.
