BACOLOD City – At least P450,600 in cash and valuables were taken from a shopping mall in Barangay Palampas, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.
The heist was believed to have occurred early Black Saturday morning, March 30.
Major Ryan Villasario of San Carlos police said mall employees discovered the robbery when they arrived at about 8:30 a.m. for work.

The thieves managed to steal P33,000 in cash, items worth P2,000, and nine cellphone units worth P82,000 from one establishment alone.
In another enterprise, 10 cellphone units worth P119,000 were taken.
