Another tenant, April Palanog, 25, of Bangga Alit in Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod said she discovered her laptop computer valued at P25,000 missing from her room at about 6:45 p.m.

Investigation conducted by Dullan and Police Officer 2 Nelson Guinalon showed that the robbers destroyed the padlocks on the doors of the rooms.

Dulan said they have taken the fingerprints of the five construction men working on the renovation of the boarding house, and compared them with those taken from the crime scenes.

Dullan also reported that ten cellular phones valued at P8,870 and P50,000 in cash were stolen by robbers from CW Marketing at Locsin Luzuriaga streets, Bacolod, owned by Manuel Kho.

He said the robbery was discovered by sales girl Jennelyn Rojo at about 10 a.m. when they opened the store.

Initial investigation conducted by Dullan showed that the robbers had climbed to the store’s roof and destroyed a G.I. sheet.

Policemen arrested an Alfie Abong, alias “Dyok-Dyok”, after security guard Rexon Ugdamin, employed by the Jacoa Security Agency and detailed at the CW Marketing, positively identified him as the one he saw coming down from the Ipil-ipil tree beside the store and fleeing with three other youngsters.

The robberies at the J and L Marañon Art boarding House and at the CW Marketing are the fourth and fifth incidents in Bacolod this week alone, police records showed.
