May pahayag ang Bonifacio Global City (BGC) sa Taguig kaugnay ng insidente ng pandurukot sa isang turistang South Korean professional football player.
Kinumpirma ng BGC na natanggap nito ang reklamo ni Park Yi-young sa mismong araw na nadukutan siya noong July 4, 2024.
Agad itong nag-alok ng tulong, pero tumanggi ang atleta.
Sa Facebook nag-post si Yi-young ng video kung saan niya ikinuwento ang detalye.
Aniya, anim na tao ang napansin niyang sangkot sa pandurukot.
Maririnig din siyang sinasabihan ang mga ito na ibalik ang kanyang wallet.
Paglalahad niya sa caption (published as is), “It happened in front of one Bonifacio, I was walking on the street and 6 people were around me for quiet a long time.”
Ang tatlo raw sa kanila ay pumuwesto sa unahan niya at naglakad nang mabagal, habang ang tatlo pa ay pumuwesto sa kanyang likod at pinuntirya raw ang sarado niyang bag.
“They stole my wallet but I was lucky that I could noticed fast and track them immediately. Ran after them but they split to 3. I was only able to catch 2 of them and luckily they had my wallet…
“while I was tracking them I asked for help to the guards around but they didn’t react and couldn’t help me out.. anyway.. I’m safe and I got my wallet back but still missing some cash."
Mensahe niya, “just wanted to warn you guys out there to avoid next victim that it won’t happen again!
“Be safe everyone”
