3 men rob Italian, wife

Three men hog-tied an Italian, his Filipino wife, and their 10-year-old son inside their room before robbing them of money, jewelry, and a licensed gun Sunday afternoon in barangay Basak, Lapu-Lapu City.

Ilo Ricci, his wife Maria Cristina, and son Angelo were in their room inside Angeloville Apartelle at sitio Ibabao when the men entered the property through an open gate at 5:30 p.m.

The robbers used packing tape and telephone wire to tie the Riccis. After the robbery, the three men walked out casually.

Neighbors called the police after sensing something unusual going on at the apartelle owned by the Ricci couple.
