Seven teenagers were reported to have robbed an Internet café inside a subdivision in barangay Nangka, Consolacion yesterday dawn.

Twenty-one-year-old Ronnie Avila, a cashier of the Internet café told the Consolacion Police that the masked robbers divested him and all the customers of their money, cellular phones, and pieces of jewelry.
