Police hunt down former inmate for twin robberies in Guadalupe
Authorities have been hunting down a man, allegedly a former inmate just released from the Cebu City Jail, who was reportedly involved in two robbery incidents, one of which was at Golden Ville Subdivision in Banawa, barangay Guadalupe yesterday dawn.
Guadalupe policeman, SPO1 Antonio Barete, said the victim in yesterday’s robbery was 26-year-old Arlene Bisagas, 26, a resident of the place, who was shot in her left forearm when she refused to give her bag to the still unidentified robber.
The wounded Barete, who was rushed by responding tanods and policemen to a private hospital, described the robber to be in his 20s, 5’2” tall, dark complexioned, and was wearing a hat at the time.
Barete told investigators that she was walking on her way home when the robber appeared and grabbed her bag, containing her cellphone, P4,000 cash and personal items. She resisted but the robber shot her and fled.
Based on Barete’s description of the robber, the police now have a theory that the robber might be the same man who was released recently from the city jail. They added that this might be the man involved in another robbery in Guadalupe last week when a Korean woman lost her gold necklace to a robber.

The guard also failed to act on time because the robbers got at him while his gun was left in the drawer of the filing cabinet. The still unidentified robbers casually walked towards the direction of Consolacion, said investigator SPO1 Roberto Hugo. — Edwin Ian Melecio/RAE
