Both recovered motorcycles are currently under the custody of the concerned Highway Patrol units for further investigation and proper disposition.
PNP-HPG Director PBGEN Rommel S. Batangan commended the operating units for their swift action and continued commitment to protecting vehicle owners from motor vehicle-related crimes.
