CAMP KANGLEON, PALO, LEYTE – The Police Regional Office 8, under the leadership of PBGEN JASON L CAPOY, Regional Director, reported the successful recovery of a stolen vehicle through the swift response of Calbayog City Police Station on August 19, 2025.

At approximately 7:19 PM, Calbayog City Police Station personnel promptly responded to a 911 call from the complainant, alias “Javier,” who tracked his stolen vehicle via GPS in Brgy. San Policarpo, Calbayog City.

The stolen vehicle was recovered inside an auto repair shop in Brgy. San Policarpo, Calbayog City. While the rear plate number was missing and the front plate number differed from the original, verification through the engine number confirmed a match with the owner’s Certificate of Registration, thereby validating the vehicle’s identity.

Investigation revealed that the incident had already been reported to the Calamba City Police Station, and arrangements for the proper turnover of the vehicle between Calbayog CPS and Calamba CPS are currently underway for appropriate disposition.

PBGEN CAPOY commended the quick response of the operating team, emphasizing that the recovery highlights PRO 8’s commitment to crime prevention and swift police action to ensure public safety. “This accomplishment reflects our strong dedication to protect our communities — swift in action, firm in service,” he said.
