Police
remain clueless regarding the identities of two suspects who robbed the owners
of a gas station in barangay Dao last Tuesday.
The
two armed robbers fled with P240,000 in cash after they held-up Felix and Thelma
Ayeng, owners of Dao Caltex Gas Station, who have just boarded their service vehicle
to deposit their collections at a bank here about 8:30 a.m.
The
still unidentified robbers who were aboard a motorcycle blocked their path and
took the bag in the possession of Thelma that contained the P240,000 cash.
According
to the couple, one of the suspects disembarked from the motorcycle pointing a
gun at Thelma who was holding the bag containing the money to be deposited.

The victims could
hardly provide police a description of the suspects as they covered their faces
with t-shirts and the incident took only a few seconds, according to Thelma.
The
gun toting suspect approached the victims without saying a word and went straight
to grab the bag which contained the gasoline station's four-day cash collections.
The
lady-victim said she did not attempt to resist the suspect fearing she and her
husband would be shot. | Nobody
among the gas station employees even noticed the incident, according to the couple.
It was only after the suspects fled that the victims called for help.
The
4-day collections were supposed to be deposited last Monday but they were not
able to do so as it was a holiday.
Police
suspects that the robbers knew the routine of the couple who admitted they usually
deposit the preceding day's collection every morning when banks open for business.
The
Dao Gas Station does not have a security guard and had been a victim of another
robbery several years ago. |
