A teenager was arrested Thursday for allegedly stealing copper wires, a desk top computer, and other tools from a maintenance workshop belonging to his family\u2019s landlord in Dandan.<\/p>\n
Gerson Paul Semens, 18, was taken before Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho yesterday for his initial appearance on charges of burglary and theft.<\/p>\n
A $5,000 cash bail was imposed for Semens\u2019 temporary release.<\/p>\n
Detective Catherine B. Pangelinan stated in her report that on Feb. 6, 2014, a police officer was dispatched to a residence in Dandan, where a maintenance work shop had been burglarized.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said copper wires and other tools were stolen.<\/p>\n
The following day, Pangelinan said, the owner of the property called her to report that he has a clue about the burglary.<\/p>\n
It was learned that the victim\u2019s maintenance worker had discovered a small black strip of copper wire on the floor of the tenant\u2019s house while he was fixing the smoke detector inside the residence.<\/p>\n
The worker reported the matter to the victim.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said that she, the victim, and the worker searched the house with the consent of the tenant.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said they then found the stolen items inside a locked room in the house.<\/p>\n
The tenant told the detective that she has no knowledge about the items and hinted that her 18-year-old son may have been possibly behind it.<\/p>\n
Pangelinan said Semens later came and admitted that he stole the items from the shop on Feb. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
