Always ensure your doors are securely locked before going to bed—and if possible, use a double lock. This was a hard lesson for a couple in Pagatpat, Cagayan de Oro City, after a thief broke into their home before dawn on June 16, 2025, stealing cash and a cellphone. In a Facebook post, netizen Habibi Cooh shared their relief that no one in the household was harmed. CCTV footage captured the suspect, who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts, scattering clothes on the floor—presumably to muffle his footsteps as he moved through the house. A large tattoo on his forearm, visible in the footage, may aid police in identifying him.
Here are a few clips of the CCTV.
At around 4:26 a.m., the husband woke up to pee and was alarmed to find the kitchen door open and clothes scattered across the floor.
