BURGLARS STRIKE IN LILOAN
TWO money transfer outlets were burglarized hours apart last Monday in barangay Poblacion, Liloan town, north Cebu.
Police said P13,000 and a Samsung notebook worth P20,000 were stolen from MoneyGram.
The burglary was discovered at 10:30 a.m. last Monday by Noli Balinzona, the officer-in-charge of the firm.
Police said the lock of a mini-vault where the money was kept was already destroyed when Balinzona arrived.
The burglars entered the establishment by destroying the building’s roof.
The establishment didn’t have a security guard and a security camera, said PO2 Gabriel Pelago Jr., investigator of the Liloan police.
Three hours earlier, an outlet of LBC, which was about 25 meters from MoneyGram, was also found ransacked where a cellular phone was taken.
The roof of the building was destroyed, said police.
Police said it was possible that one group was behind the burglaries./CORRESPONDENT RHEA RUTH V. ROSELL
