A college student from the University of Sto. Tomas (UST) was arrested Monday night for allegedly robbing a taxi driver in Cubao, QC.
According to PO3 Spartacus Pareja of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) Station 7, the 19-year-old male student was nabbed at the corner of P. Tuazon and N. Domingo streets after robbing driver Ronaldo Quintero.
Quintero said the student, riding in his taxi cab as a passenger, declared the hold-up along N. Domingo St., and at knife-point took his daily earnings of P5,300, then fled.
However, Quintero was able to ask assistance from a policeman in the area, who gave chase to the suspect and arrested him.
Recovered from the suspect was an 11-inch bladed weapon and the driver's cash money.
According to the suspect, he was forced to rob the driver because he had lost his P3,000 allowance from an online casino.--Source: DZMM
