Beauty queen Angelee Claudett Delos Reyes, her boyfriend Yussef Esteves, and two other friends were victimized by riding-in-tandem at a Chinese restaurant in San Juan last Saturday night.
According to reports, the reigning Miss Philippines-Earth was eating at the said restaurant together with her group including Miss Philippines-Fire Alma Casabal when they were robbed. Initial police report said the incident occurred between 10:45 and 11 p.m.
The robbery was caught in CCTV nearby. The video showed that Yussef Esteves was standing at the sidewalk when a man who just went down a motorcycle approached him. The man pointed a gun at Esteves, and asked for his bag.
The riding-in-tandem was able to get a black Oakley sling bag with P800 cash, an iPhone 5 worth P35,000 and a MyPhone A919 mobile phone worth P8,500, along with a pair of sunglasses worth P15,000, four books and condo keys.
Based on the CCTV video, the black motorcycle where the suspects were riding had already passed them once before returning to rob them, which made the group believe that the suspects were already eyeing them.
One of their friends was able to recognize the suspect, who reportedly has semblance with the late comedian Rene Requiestas. Check points conducted by the police, however, failed to nab the suspects.
