Robbers use tunnel to rob pawnshop in Santiago City
SANTIAGO CITY—-Unidentified men looted a pawnshop using a tunnel they dug beneath the store on Wednesday night (Jan. 3) in Centro East village, police said.
The tunnel led to the vault of the Carig Pawnshop where documents, money and jewelry were stored.
The value of the stolen items has yet to be assessed, investigators said.
