Security guard drives off with bank’s armored van

Police are hunting a driver-security guard who drove off last Sunday with a bank’s armored van containing millions of pesos in cash in Cainta, Rizal.

The Antipolo City police found the armored van abandoned yesterday in front of a junkshop along the Marcos Highway in Barangay Mayamot, but the bulk of the money was gone.

Inspector Rony Arriola, of the Police Communty Precinct 1 of the Antipolo City police, said the suspect, Roger Abogado, 37, together with two fellow security guards and a teller of the Equitable-PCI Bank in Cubao, made the rounds of establishments in Rizal to collect cash last Sunday.

However, after his two fellow guards and the teller disembarked from the armored van at the Sta. Lucia Mall in Cainta at about 11:50 a.m. Sunday, Abogado, who was behind the wheel, drove off with the vehicle.

The armored van, owned by the Matrix Corporation Security and General Services Inc., was recovered at 7 a.m. yesterday.

Arriola said they found inside the abandoned van 10 duffel bags containing P5 and P1 coins.

Superintendent Gilbert Cruz, Cainta police chief, said the incident was not reported to them.

"Blangko kami sa kasong ’yan dahil hindi ito na-report sa amin (We are clueless on the case because it was not reported to us)," Cruz told The STAR.

Nevertheless, Cruz is coordinating with the Antipolo City police to jointly track down Abogado.

Arriola said officials of Equitable-PCI Bank are presently conducting an inventory of how much cash was taken by Abogado.

Those two guards who were left behind should undergo tactical interrogation and if possible should be subjected to polygraph test. The possibility is not remote that there was a concerted planning that one would take off with the cash that was the driver, and the two will continue the routine in accordance with the script.

In hindsight, it is quite unnatural for only one individual to commit a crime of this nature where enormous amount of money is involved, with a 50-50 chance for the teller to be involved.

Guard foils NPA attack on Masbate cell site

MANILA, Philippines — Suspected communist New People's Army (NPA) rebels attacked a Globe cell site in Masbate province in Bicol Thursday night but the lone security guard managed to fight them off, a radio report said Friday.

Bombo Radyo cited initial reports from the Masbate provincial police that 20 NPAs approached the cell site at 10:20 p.m. in Poblacion village in Pio V. Corpus town.

However, lone security guard Jerry Besabella traded shots with the gunmen, prompting them to retreat without damaging the facility.

Police have started hot pursuit operations for the rebels, who the military claimed are targeting Globe sites due to the owners' refusal to pay revolutionary taxes. - GMANews.TV
