ILOILO City – Unidentified robbers barged into the Association of Barangay Councils (ABC) office of La Paz district and took P44,000 worth of electrical appliances and supplies.
Identifying the culprits might prove a challenge to the investigators – no witness has surfaced as of this writing and the office has no closed-circuit television camera, a police report stated.
ABC-La Paz secretary Liezel Valle discovered the burglary at the office at the public plaza in Barangay Lopez Jaena Norte at around 7:45 a.m. on Wednesday. She reported to the district police.
Investigators from the La Paz police station found that the padlock of the backdoor had been destroyed and there was a hole through which the robbers may have opened the door from the outside.
The items inside the ABC-La Paz office that went missing included the following:
* 24-inch Samsung television worth P30,000
* Samsung DVD player, P3,500
* a box of Christmas lights, P5,000
* two circuit breakers, P1,000
* electrical wires, P1,200
* electric stove, P2,500
* office supplies, P500
* five LED lights, P300
Two security guards were detailed at the public plaza where the office was located between 8 p.m. on Tuesday and 8 a.m. on Wednesday, the period when the burglary may have happened, police noted.
The police report identified the guards as Randy Villalobos and Weny Carbajal, both of the Mount Carmel Security Agency, Inc.
