Jollibee heist meant to embarrass gov’t?

A top police investigator revealed yesterday the robbery at a Jollibee branch in Pasig City last Sunday may have been staged to embarrass the Arroyo administration.

The source, who refused to be named, said the 10 heavily-armed men who robbed the Jollibee cashier and customers of P250,000 were not after the money, which would have been peanuts once divided equally.

He said targeting a restaurant patronized by the masses would greatly negate the gains of the Arroyo administration and its fight against criminality.

"There are other targets which a group that big could get millions, but they chose to hit a Jollibee branch. That is why were are looking into the possibility that the suspects were simply out to embarrass the police and the President," the veteran police investigator said. Non Alquitran
