3 dead in Quezon province bank robbery
MANILA, Philippines—Three people were killed following a bank robbery in Quezon province Thursday afternoon, police said.
Senior Superintendent Valeriano de Leon, Quezon province police director, said three bank security guards— Roldan Consigna, Joel Barrameda and Marlo de Guzman—died while undergoing treatment in the hospital after still unidentified suspects stormed the United Coconut Planters Bank in Lucena City before 4 p.m. Thursday.
De Guzman made it alive at Mt. Carmel Hospital in a “critical condition,” but died afterwards, De Leon said.
Information on how they staged their attack and other details including whether they were able to escape with the money were not immediately available.
De Leon said that dragnet operations had been launched for the arrest of the suspects.—Jamie Marie Elona
