Police arrested two Chinese nationals who abducted and detained a fellow Chinese at their condominium unit in Makati City.
Suspects Zhou Meng, 26, and Tseng Yi-Ting, 25 were arrested inside their residence at Room 3316 Lerato Tower 1, Malugay Street in Barangay Bel-Air around 9:40 p.m. Monday.
The two were responsible for the abduction and illegal detention of Ao Yuan, 29, a resident of 14H Three Central Condominium, Valero Street, also in Barangay Bel-Air.
Makati City police chief investigator P/Maj. Gideon Ines said they conducted the rescue operation after their office received “SOS” information via Chinese mobile application and reported the crime involving a female Chinese national around 9 p.m.
With the help of security personnel and other individuals at the condominium, the police operatives were able to rescue the victim who at that time was shouting for help at Unit 3316.
Police recovered four computer laptop units, identification cards, and condoms from the condominium unit.
Citing initial investigation conducted by the Makati City police station, Southern Police District spokesperson P/Maj. Jaybee Bayani said the victim owed money to her captors.
The case was the latest crime incident happened in southern Metro Manila involving Chinese nationals.
