2 Danao City store workers robbed on their way to bank

Two employees of a department store in Danao City were robbed while riding a trisikad on their way to deposit money in a nearby bank yesterday afternoon.

Two still unidentified men waylaid and, at gunpoint, grabbed the bag containing P148,000 from Mary Jane Laguros, 21, and Senedios dela Cerna, 22, secretary and bagger, respectively of Novo Department Store in Danao City.

Police reports said that when the trisikad reached a secluded area at Beatriz Village Road in Poblacion, Danao City, the two masked men appeared and grabbed the bag from Laguros and Dela Cerna.

As of press time yesterday, SPO3 Edgar Gomez, desk officer of Danao City Police Station, said the police are still conducting follow-up investigation leading to the arrest of the robbers.

Gomez said they are also looking into the reasons why the two store employees just took a trisikad to deposit a large sum to the bank.

The bank is located not far from the store but Gomez said there is a secluded area, along the way, where only a few people could be found roaming around at the time the robbery took place. - Gregg M. Rubio
