The Silay police have identified one of the two suspects in the theft of a painting by national artist Fernando Amorsolo from the Hofileña Museum on Cinco de Noviembre Street in Silay City, Negros Occidental.
Lieutenant Colonel Mark Anthony Darroca, Silay police chief, said the male suspect was identified by the driver of the trisikad that he and his accomplice boarded after stealing the 12×18 inches “Mango Harvesters” painting on July 3.
Darroca said the male suspect took off his mask when he boarded the trisikad, enabling the driver to identify him from a police rogues gallery.
Darroca said the suspect, a resident of Tondo in Manila, was charged with theft in a separate incident in 2022.
