ROBBERS HIT PARCEL DELIVERY DEPOT IN BULACAN

BY KEVIN GALANG

FIVE armed men on Saturday hit a parcel delivery warehouse in Marilao, Bulacan and escaped with at least  P360,000 in cash.

In a report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Brig. Gen. Ponce Rogelio Pe ñones Jr., the Bulacan police said one of the five suspects is a former security guard of the warehouse.

An investigation showed that the on duty security guard at the J&T warehouse in Bgy. Prenza 2 in Marilao saw a white closed van arrived at the premises and  five unidentified men alighted from the vehicle.  

One of the men approached the security guard and pointed a gun at him, tied his hands and covered his  mouth with masking tape.

The suspects gained entry into the warehouse using a bolt cutter.

Once inside, the suspects took two vaults- one containing P360,000 in cash and the other vault containing a scanner worth P30,000.

The robbers grabbed the security guard’s issued firearm before fleeing.

Police are reviewing the CCTV footage in the area to identify and arrest the suspects.
