Reigning Miss Philippines-Earth Angelee delos Reyes and her friends were attacked by riding-in-tandem criminals in an eatery in San Juan Saturday night.
In a report from San Juan Police chief Senior Supt. Joselito Daniel, also robbed of their valuables were Joseph Smisek, alias Yussef Esteves and Ms. Philippines-Fire Alma Casabal. Smisek is reportedly the boyfriend of delos Reyes.
The incident occurred between 10:48 and 11 p.m. in front of Eat Fresh Hongkong Street Food Restaurant on Abad Santos St., Bgy. Little Baguio.
Reports said the victim’s group were at the restaurant when Smisek, who was then standing at the sidewalk, was approached by two unidentified men on board a black XRM motorcycle without plate number.
The suspects, armed with unknown gun, announced a holdup and took the victim’s belongings, including cellphones.
After the incident, the two suspects sped away.
Footage of a closed circuit television (CCTV) camera showed the suspects were observing the victim’s group before they struck.
Police said one of the victims was able to recognize the suspects who looked like "Cheetaeh" a character popularized by the late comedian Rene Requiestas.
Police officers immediately conducted follow-up operations but failed to apprehend the suspects.--Source: Journal Online
