Capitol employee's car ransacked

CEBU, Philippines - A provincial capitol employee lost her valuables after an unidentified man broke into her car while it is being parked at the Cebu Business Park Thursday evening.

Lia Pangatunggan, 30, lost her Secossana brand bag containing her wallet, SSS ID, PRC ID, company ID, credit card, driver’s license and other documents in it. The CDI of her Toyota Corolla XL 2001 car was also missing.

The victim told police that she parked her car at Cebu Business Park where she had an engagement. But when she returned to her car moments later, she was surprised when she discovered the right rear quarter window of her car already smashed.

She added the perpetrator also opened the hood of her car and detached its CDI from the engine and fled.

PO3 Celso Seville said that the police who investigated the case can’t get fingerprints on the vehicle because there were already people who touched it after the incident.

He added that there was a guard on duty but the latter allegedly told them that he was not able to notice the incident because the victim’s car was parked at the end point of the parking lot.

Meanwhile, a 19-year-old boy lost his necklace at the vicinity of One-Citilink Terminal along N. Bacalso Avenue, Cebu City yesterday morning.

Chris Ricaplaca, resident of Basak San Nicolas lost his Chinese gold necklace with octagon design pendant worth P22, 000.

The perpetrator was described as about 5’2” tall, slim with curly short hair and with brown complexion.

Ricaplaca stated that he was driving his motorcycle on his way home, when upon reaching the place, a teenager suddenly snatched his necklace and quickly ran away. (FREEMAN)
