COMEDIAN and television host Betong Sumaya fell victim to a snatching incident early Sunday in Quezon City.
In a Facebook post, Sumaya said his mobile phone was taken by a motorcycle-riding suspect while he was trying to book a ride in the Tomas Morato area around 1 a.m.
“Guys, na-snatch ang cellphone ko sa Tomas Morato QC kaninang mga 1 a.m. Habang nagbo-book ako ng Grab, biglang may motor na dumaan sa harap ko. Ang bilis ng pangyayari, di ko na siya nahabol,” he wrote.
Sumaya said he used his iPad to communicate and sought assistance from police officers in Kamuning to track his device.
“Gamit ang ‘Find the Device,’ na-locate namin siya sa bandang Sta. Mesa pero di pa namin nahanap,” he added.
He thanked the authorities who assisted him in the search, which lasted until 6 a.m., and reminded the public to stay vigilant.
“Ingat tayo, guys. Walang pinipiling lugar at oras ang mga masasamang loob,” he said.
