Metro Manila Cell Phone Thief Caught on CCTV Metro Manila, Philippines – A brazen thief has been caught on camera stealing cell phones from various businesses across Metro Manila. The incidents, captured on CCTV, show a man skillfully pilfering phones while seemingly blending into the background. One incident, at a pet grooming salon, shows the thief casually reading a document while surreptitiously taking a phone from the counter. Jesusa Ortiz, the salon's receptionist and owner of the stolen phone, stated, "After an hour, I noticed my phone was missing. We checked the CCTV, and there it was, he was stealing it."
