DAVAO CITY —-Three South Korean nationals wanted by authorities in their country for robbery were arrested in Talisay, Cebu by the personnel of the Bureau of Immigration in Cebu City last week.
Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco identified the three fugitives as Han Jungwoo, 37, Jo Woongje, 36, and Lee Chihoon, 25, all subjects of red notices issued by the Interpol due to arrest warrants issued by the eastern district court in Seoul for robbery.
Rendel Ryan Sy, BI-FSU acting chief said, the suspects were accused of using sophisticated instruments such as tracking devices and surveillance cameras to secretly monitor their victims and obtain their passwords and personal information.
The data obtained were then used by the suspects to breach security in the homes of their victims which they burglarized and robbed of properties worth more than 4.5 million won, or roughly US$3,300.
The Korean nationals were committed to the BI warden facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City where they will remain pending deportation proceedings.
The Korean national will be banned from entering the country in the future.
