4 Die In Robbery Shootout In Cebu

[Mr Lee]

HERE is another news story of the robbery that MikeB posted about HERE in the thread about security guards. Seems this story may be a bit different than the other one. Either way my heart goes out to those that were injured or killed. In the video in Mikes post, it said one of the robbers got away on a motorcycle, 4 suspects, 3 dead and one got away. Four people, including three robbery suspects, died in a shooting incident in Cebu City Monday morning, local media reported. The suspects believed to be members of the Ozamiz robbery group carted away around P1 million from a China Bank teller, who was about to deliver the cash to a money changer outlet inside Robinsons Place Cebu past 9 a.m The two robbers inside the mall also shot the teller and her security escort. The teller and the security escort were brought to the Chong Hua Hospital for treatment.Two other policemen from Carbon Police Station, who just passed by at the area, were wounded after the robbers shot at them as well. All Cebu City policemen were immediately alerted and responded to the incident. The bag containing the cash was recovered.

Maybe it is time they get some metal detectors like the larger malls have.5 dead, 4 hurt in foiled heistThe robbers, according to a witness, approached teller Lewin Surig inside the food court and shot him on the left leg.Security lapses?Chief Insp. Bonifacio Garciano, chief of the Investigation and Detective Management Branch of CCPO, said that the guards of the mall scampered when the heist took place.Garciano told The FREEMAN that there could be lapses on the part of the security guards, because the two armed men were able to get inside undetected.
