The victims were about to leave their house when the four suspects, armed with long and short firearms, barged into their garage.

The suspects forcibly took the victims inside the house , tied them up in the kitchen before ransacking the house.

The armed men took from the vault assorted jewelry  worth at least P1 million, four mobile phones, a shotgun and a cal. .45 gun both registered to Jaime Chiapco.

Afterwards, the suspects destroyed the CCTV then fled with their loot on a silver Innova with plate no. KAL 1228.
