Tabuk City, Kalinga - A gang which makes use of bolt cutters to destroy padlocks to gain entry into buildings appears to be on the loose in Tabuk City adding another woe to store owners in the locality.
On the night of September 14, three business establishments in downtown Tabuk were burglarized through the use of bolt cutters.
The Safe Value Convenience and Drug Store lost coins amounting to P2,930.00, the Nansev Grocery Store lost change amounting to P5.000.00 and checks amounting to P28,000.00 and Casigayan Farm Supply could not account for more or less P50.00 in coins after the break-in.
Tabuk City Police Chief Investigator Manolito Meana said that had the robbers been professionals, they would have taken expensive medicines from the victimized drug store.
Betty Cawilan, owner of the Casigayan Farm Supply which is infront of the Tabuk public market, observed that the two padlocks and chain which the robbers cut were worth more than the amount taken from the store.
Cawilan complained that the police were sleeping on the job because had they been patrolling, there is a chance they may have apprehended the culprits if not in her establishment, in either of the two other victimized stores.
Meana brushed aside the comment that the bolt cutter robberies were a slap on the face of the police because the robbed establishments were within 300 meters from the police station.
"These criminals monitor the police station who might have seen that the police car just entered the compound and that was when they struck." Meana said.
Regarding the robbery on the Safe Value Convenience and Drug Store which is around 100 meters away from the police station, Meana said that the neighbors heard loud metallic sounds coming from the store but they did not alert the police.
Robbery is still one of the most prevalent crimes being committed in the city.
Starting September 1, some 14 burglaries and stick-ups have been reported in the police blotters.
These include the hold-up to two employees of the Motortrade Company who were on their way to Tuguegarao City on a motorcycle when they were stopped by three men armed with guns. The two employees lost P 13,400.00 in cash and also their cellphones.**by Estanislao Albano, Jr., Zigzag Weekly, Sept. 23, 2007
