Two store employees allegedly stole 50 cases of Spam by making a hole on the wall that separates the store’s warehouse and their living quarters.
Abe Sahagun Ladringan, 24, and Jin Xuan Zhe, 26, were arrested Saturday for theft.
At yesterday’s hearing, Superior Court associate judge Ramona V. Manglona imposed a $5,000 cash bail each for the defendants’ temporary liberty.
Detective Joaquin I. Deleon Guerrero said the victim identified the two employees as the suspects after conducting an in-house investigation.
The victim called the police on March 8.
Deleon Guerrero said that Ladringan confessed to him and his employer that he and Zhe stole 50 cases of Spam from I-Mart’s warehouse in December 2007.
Deleon Guerrero said that Ladringan admitted they sold the Spam to a businesswoman who owns Hong Kong Store in Garapan and he received $340 as his share.
The detective said the owner of I-Mart and Fresh Market reported that the total value of the stolen goods was $1,250.
Deleon Guerrero said that Ladringan and Zhe stayed in the employee quarters located underneath the I-Mart.
He said Ladringan claimed that they gained entry into the warehouse by cutting a hole about 30 centimeters in diameter in the wall that separates the warehouse and their barracks.
