00:20In this van, the police recovered the stolen batteries used in a cell site in Tanay, Rizal.
00:28Almost half a million or Php 480,000 is the total value of the recovered rectifier batteries.
00:36According to the police, they received a call from a cell site company in Barangay Plaza, Aldea last Tuesday.
00:44And it was said that they were robbed by two men working as subcontractors of the company.
00:51Two suspects were arrested, known as Lennon, 31 years old, and Eman, 35 years old.

01:25Based on the investigation, the suspects were selling the stolen rectifier batteries to households that use solar panels.
01:35According to one of the suspects, there were no robberies.
01:39They were only set up by the guards who complained to the company.
01:43The guards just ordered to take out a scrap from Telco Company.
01:49There were no robberies because we thought that they were legally asking us to take it out.

02:21This happened twice or three times.
02:24It's a different cell site.
02:26That's why they are eager to arrest our suspects.
