Isabela bank loses P.8 M to robbers

BURGOS, Isabela – Police are still trying to establish identities of five men who robbed a rural bank here of P800,000 late night of Aoril 19.

Ruben Carganilla, stay-in bank security guard of the Mallig Plains Rural Bank Inc., said two of the robbers, who entered the bank from the back, tied him and his wife at gunpoint, while the rest ransacked the vault of cash.

Reports said robbers also struck at another bank in Aurora town, about 30 minutes away, almost simultaneously. – Joan Capuna
