Burglary investigators check AG Manibusan’s old house
Detectives did not find any sign of burglary, shutter damage possibly caused by typhoon
Burglary investigators responded to the old house of Attorney General Edward Manibusan in Kagman after a caller reported that somebody was possibly trying to break into it last Thursday.
Department of Public Safety Commissioner James Deleon Guerrero told Saipan Tribune yesterday that investigators determined that there was no damage to the house’s window or other parts of the building.
“There is no active case right now,” Deleon Guerrero said, adding that he believes Manibusan does not stay in that old house.
Deleon Guerrero said that an anonymous caller reported to police that somebody was possibly trying to burglarize the house.
Police investigators responded to the scene as well as AG Investigation Unit investigators.
Investigators found some damage to the plywood that was used as a typhoon shutter to cover the window but it appeared to have only been caused by the storm, Deleon Guerrero said.
He said investigators found no damage to the window and other areas of the house.
Investigators also did not find any forced point of entry, he added.
The commissioner said the investigators told the AGIU investigators to get a hold of Manibusan to verify if somebody really broke into the house.
He said the AGIU investigators did not get back to them so they assumed there was no burglary.
Deleon Guerrero said that, according to police detective Catherine B. Pangelinan, if someone looks at the house from the road, it appears as if the plywood covering the window had been pried open.
