TWO men were allegedly caught looting the abandoned Cebu City Medical Center (CCMC).

One of the two men identified as Ricky Casnillas of barangay Calamba, Cebu City was arrested by security guard Efren Seira.

The 300-bed CCMC building has been declared  unfit for occupancy due to the damage caused by last week’s earthquake.
