A Korean national sought help to police after a Chinese looking man stole his sling bag at a coffee shop of a hotel in Barangay Mactan, Lapu-Lapu city Thursday afternoon.
Kim Keon Ho, 26, a businessman from Incheon South Korea was with eight other South Korean nations including his girlfriend at a coffee shop in Mactan Newtown. Ho then left his sling bag in his chair while talking to somebody on the phone.
When he returned after a few minutes, the bag was no longer in the chair which prompted him to seek help the shop’s management.
Ho lost his $700 and P20,000 together with other identification cards.
According to Richard Oliver, chief of Tourism Police in Lapu-Lapu City, police authorities have coordinated with the management of the coffee shop and are now conducting an investigation into the capture of the burglars.
