Posted on Jan 10 2001
Police raided yesterday Sony pawnshop in Chalan Kanoa after the owner refused to help authorities in turning over suspected stolen items that were pawned in the establishment.
Immediately, the police sought the issuance of a search warrant to recover the items which can be used as evidence in a robbery/theft case to be filed against the suspects in a series of robberies and theft committed on the island.
The pawnshop owner may be charged with obstruction of justice by the police due to his refusal to cooperate in surrendering the alleged stolen items.
Police Capt. Delbert Sablan has refused to identify the items taken by the police team which raided the pawnshop pending completion of investigation.
The police have been trying to resolve the William S. Reyes Elementary School burglary as they recovered last two weeks ago stolen equipment after obtaining confessions from suspects.
Sources said the raid in Sony pawnshop was a result of the information gathered from several witnesses. Earlier, the police already recovered television set, computers and air con units. (Lindablue F. Romero)
