Based on a report from Cebu Daily News, a promodizer landed in jail after she allegedly stole 3 bottles of alcohol. The item she stole on Thursday afternoon, March 19 was worth P132.
The 21-year-old woman claimed that she only hid the alcohol afraid that it will run out of supply. She said she will pay for the items after her shift.
According to the report, Police Captain Alvin Llamedo of the Carbon Police Station said that the management of the mall already filed a complaint against the woman before the City Prosecutor’s Office.
The chief said the woman will remain in detention until the mall management wants to take a settlement agreement. Llamedo said he would have opted for a settlement because the mall employee may already be panicking due to the coronavirus threat.
