Authorities Arrested A Laguna Bank Thief After Hiding Inside Ceiling
LAGUNA BANK THIEF ARRESTED – Authorities arrested a 35-year-old male who attempted to rob a branch of the Bank of the Philippines Islands (BPI) in Laguna.
According to Police Lt. Col. Chitadel Gaoiran, the suspect entered the bank at around 11:30 p.m. Furthermore, he said the thief broke the glass door of the bank using a rock. This tripped the security alarm and alerted the police.
However, when the authorities got to the seen, all they saw was emptied drawers and a mess of files on the floor. The thief almost got away with it as the police never found their suspect.
Unfortunately, he made one mistake. Knowing that the police would respond, the thief hid inside the ceilings of the bank. But, he forgot to cover the ceiling on the right side.
As such, the police on the scene got alerted when they saw one of the ceiling covers on the opposite side. After they opened the ceiling, they found the suspect who surrendered immediately.
Based on an article from ABS-CBN, the thief wanted to open the bank’s vault. Sadly, his plans ended up with him in literal tears as he pleaded to the police. He explained that he only attempted the robbery because he had no more money left after he went jobless due to the pandemic.
Following the arrest, authorities recovered over P1,000 the thief stole from drawers, one cellphone, and one computer monitor. Afterward, the police charged him with robbery.
