Nearly half million pesos worth of jewelry, cellphones, watches, and cash were stolen from a remittance center of LBC in Barangay Poblacion at the town proper of Dalaguete town in southern Cebu before dawn on Monday.
The Dalaguete police received the alarm about the robbery before 3a.m., said Inspector Rolan Alicer, the town’s police chief.
Alicer said the footage from CCTV inside the remittance center showed that three burglars entered the establishment at 2:15 a.m. by forcibly opening the roll up
door and breaking the glass door before they proceeded to ransack the place.
The robbers then left on board a single motorcycle and headed to still unknown direction, said Alicer.
The stolen items included P240,000 in the cash while the rest were pieces of jewelry and two store-owned cellphones.
The establishment had no security guard.
However, Alicer said they looking into the possibility that the incident was an inside job. Alicera also believes that the robbers were not from dalaguete town.
As of now, Dalaguete police are waiting for the representatives from the LBC before they will start the investigation.
