Call center agent
held up in Bacolod

One of two men on a motorcycle held up a call center agent and took her P10,000 in cash at Rosario and Lacson streets, Bacolod City at about 6 a.m. yesterday.

Grace Gonzales, 22, of 8th-Lacson streets, Brgy. 38, told the police she had withdrawn money from the automated teller machine booth of the Banco de Oro when a man approached her.

She said the man threatened her with a bladed weapon and forcibly took her wallet, that contained her money, before escaping on riding a black motorcycle with his companion towards Lopez Jaena Street.

Gonzales, who sustained an injury on her heck, described the suspect to be slim, police reports showed.

Station 1 commander, Chief Insp. Adonis Rosales, said they already have the identities of the suspects and, in fact, they had been tailing them in the past weeks.

Rosales said the suspects, who are between 20 to 25 years-old, have four other companions. He said that they use three motorcycles in their operations and usually operate by fours.

He said the two serve as lookouts, another as spotter of their prospective victims, and the fourth as driver of the motorcycle they use to get away after carrying-out a robbery.*APN
