CEBU, Philippines - About P30,000 was allegedly lost to a security guard on duty Sunday in a Lapu-Lapu City subdivision .

The suspect was identified as SG Julie Mar Bilocura who guards the East Town Villas Subdivision in Sitio Acacia, Barangay Bankal.

Initial investigation made by Police Senior Inspector Juan Capacio of Lapu-Lapu City police Office -Crimes against Property Desk revealed that an Australian national named Damien John Dwyer, 62, presently resides at Block 3 of the subdivision reported to the police Sunday afternoon saying someone entered his house carting away his personal belongings.

Capacio said prior to the incident, the Australian who is a Rotarian, left his house last week for a charity mission in Bantayan Island.

Ephraim Hernando, another guard of the subdivision, said it was Bilocura who was on duty at that time. He added that the suspect left his post at around 9 p.m. Saturday and did not bother to come back.

When Dwyer arrived Saturday midnight, he discovered that all his personal items were gone and his dresser disarranged.

Police said Bilocura allegedly carted away P15,000 in cash, 100 Australian dollars, a laptop, a tablet gadget, an electronic book, a Nokia mobile phone and a Extano CD writer.

Responding police officers noted traces left by the suspect who was believed to have passed through the front sliding window as the old dust in the frames were partially wiped out.

Capacio said a caretaker of the subdivision contacted Bilocura on the phone asking about his whereabouts and the latter reportedly said he was in Talamban, Cebu City working in a construction site.

The caretaker once again called Bilocura who the latter allegedly kept on cancelling the calls.

Police is conducting follow-up operation for the possible apprehension and arrest of the suspect and recovery of the stolen items.
