Five suspected members of a notorious salisi gang were arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 in Pasay City on May 14, 2025, following a string of theft incidents. The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) confirmed a recent surge in passenger complaints about thefts at the airport. According to Atty. Jeffrey David, Head Executive Assistant of MIAA, "Cameras alone won't be able to save their belongings." The arrested suspects, believed to be part of a larger 10-member gang, were apprehended after a failed attempt to steal from a passenger. Recovered items included two cell phones and a laptop. The MIAA is urging passengers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities. The ongoing investigation aims to determine if the gang is linked to other crimes in the area. The swift action by airport authorities serves as a reminder of the importance of security measures and vigilance in preventing theft at busy public places.
