GENERAL Santos City – He is known for his association with prominent personalities led by boxing icon and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao but officials have warned these very important persons to stay away from this man, tagged as behind a well-entrenched car theft syndicate in the country.
The man named Bong Akia alias “Mohammad Timpolok Aquia” is now facing charges for violation of the anti-carnapping act and the anti-fencing law after agents of the Philippine National Police-Highway Patrol Group under Chief Supt. Leonardo Espina recovered 26 stolen motor vehicles traced to the suspect.
PNP Director General Nicanor A. Bartolome described Akia’s group as a “well-entrenched car theft ring” engaged in buying stolen motor vehicles in Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon and transporting them to Mindanao.
The Journal Group learned that unknown to his many friends including Pacquiao, Akia is using his ties with prominent personalities including politicians, law enforcement and local government officials and even members of the media to carry out his illicit trade.
Officials said last month, HPG agents failed to arrest Akia when he suddenly joined Rep. Pacquiao in his vehicle and stayed at his mansion.
The suspect, who sensed that undercover officers are tailing him, joined the boxing icon all the way to his palatial house in Sarangani where he spent the night.
The operation to get Bong Akia came in the wake of the continuing tracking operation and investigation conducted by the PNP-HPG against the so-called “Baktin Carnapping Group” in Western Visayas and Central Mindanao.
