CABANATUAN CITY – A ranking official of a municipal water system lost P600,000 to two armed men in a daytime heist along Del Pilar St. here over the weekend, police reported on Monday.
Supt. Efren Ramos, city police chief, identified the victim as Lamberto Roxas, 51, general manager of Jaen Water District in Jaen, Nueva Ecija.
Investigation disclosed that Roxas, along with a certain Shirley Roxas, 51, took their lunch at Vicentico’s Restaurant, a few meters away from the Land Bank of the Philippines, Gabaldon St. branch where they have withdrawn the money on Friday.
But while the duo were leaving the restaurant and about to board the victim’s red Toyota Vios (ZJF-728) at about 1:10 p.m., the two suspects suddenly get closed and at gunpoint took the bag containing the money, police reported.
The suspects also took victim’s mobile phone, ATM cards and credit cards. The restaurant’s security guard apparently failed to help Roxas.
Reports said the suspects then walked away from the crime scene, taking advantage of the heavy traffic in the area.
