A 23-year-old former security guard and an accomplice were arrested after robbing a vape shop on Old J.P. Rizal Street in Marikina City on January 4, 2025. The incident, captured on CCTV, showed the suspects pretending to be customers before pulling a gun and stealing P5,000 in cash, a P4,000 speaker, and two vape units. Unusually, one suspect apologized to the sales attendant and even attempted a handshake before the pair restrained the employee with an HDMI cable to prevent calling for help. The attendant managed to contact the police, leading to a swift arrest of one suspect in Cubao, Quezon City, with all stolen items recovered. The second suspect has been identified and authorities are continuing their search. Both suspects will face robbery-holdup charges.
