POLICE warned the public of an expected rise in petty crimes as the Christmas season approaches.
Theft and robbery cases may increase, said Chief Insp. David Señor, chief of the Police Community Relations (PCR) of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO).
Señor said they have received reports of rampant thefts in N. Bacalso Avenue in Cebu City.
These cases usually happen in public utility jeepneys.
Señor said most of the culprits are carolers, who climb on moving jeepneys and buses to sing Christmas songs and ask for alms but end up taking passengers’ valuables.
Caroling in PUJs is prohibited under the anti-mendicancy ordinance.
