CEBU, Philippines — The Carcar City police personnel have arrested an alleged carnapper who stole a man's motorcycle while the victim was withdrawing money past 9 p.m. last Sunday.
The police have identified the suspect as Michael Angelo Mored Marientes, 31, single and a resident of Barangay Mabolo, Cebu City.
