A woman was arrested by the Makati City Police after her group led the police on an action movie-like car chase after stealing the cellphone of a sari-sari store owner in Barangay Pio Del Pilar, Makati City, on Sunday, Nov. 30.

According to the Southern Police District (SPD), one of the suspects, identified by the Makati City government as Xanielle Diaz Bacaron, posed as a customer at a sari-sari store and requested a cash-in transaction worth P15,999 on Nov. 29.

As the victim was verifying his details, Bacaron quickly grabbed the store owner's cellphone containing P54,000 worth of mobile wallet funds before escaping aboard a Toyota Vios sedan being driven by his cohort.

The victim immediately reported the incident to the police, who launched a hot-pursuit operation against the suspects.
