Story: Two mini-busses in Cavite were burned

Two mini-busses were reportedly burned by still unidentified person Thursday morning.

The incident occurred at around 4:00 am but the police only received the report at around 9:00 am. Based from their initial investigation it seems a family fued occurred within the family.

But, Chief Inspector Rafael Legaspi, deputy chief of Navoleta police station in Cavite said they will still confirm the doubts of the family.

The mini-busses with plate number DXB-238 and DVG-765 that were burned are owned by Mrs. Pining Reyes. It was burned at their garage in Cuevas Subdivision, barangay Salcedo Uno, Navoleta, Cavite.

The route of the said bus is from Naic, Cavite to Zapote, Alabang or vice-versa.

“What Reyes is saying, a relative of them could be the person behind the incident. Because the lot they used as the garage of their busses were owned by another relative. And the relative they are referring to wants to get back the said lot,” Legaspi said in a phone interview.

Based on some witnesses account, they saw two men riding in one motorcycle who went at the area before the incident happened.

Estimated cost of damages is about P500,000 as the bus was totally burned.

PNP and the arson investigation of Monkayo fire is investigating the real motive behind the incident.
