GAS STATION BURGLED

A GASOLINE station was burgled by unidentified thieves in barangay Canjulao, Lapu-Lapu City yesterday dawn.

Police said P65,000 was taken from the Petron gas station owned by Bernard Restificar.

Restificar told police that the burglary was discovered by some workers who reported for work past 5 a.m.

Police are not discounting the possibility that the incident was an inside job since the thief seemed familiar with establishment.

Police said the money was kept in a drawer in a room on the second floor of the establishment which was used as an office.

Things in the room were in disarray and the drawer was already destroyed when the workers arrived, police said./CORRESPONDENT NORMAN V. MENDOZA

NATU-EL READY TO PACK BAGS

SENIOR Supt. Mariano Natu-el Jr. yesterday said he is willing to vacate his post if there is an order from Camp Crame replacing him as chief of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO).

Natu-el was reacting to Cebu City Mayor Michael Rama’s insistent that he wants a city police chief of his choice.

Natu-el said he respects Rama’s decision to have him replaced as CCPO chief.

Rama has said that he has nothing against Natu-el but he just wanted to exercise his privilege to choose his preferred police chief./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
