The suspects were caught on closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras draining the fuel without knowledge of the driver.
One of the suspects was seen approaching the truck and going under it while holding a pail.
After a few minutes, he stood up carrying the pail filled with diesel.
He was allegedly assisted by another suspect, who brought the pail to a waiting tricycle and left.
Barangay officials in the area were able to apprehend the suspects after they received several complaints on the “paihi” group.
The suspects are facing charges of qualified theft for stealing 43 liters of diesel with an estimated worth of P7,000.
