Former Employee Robbed Salon in Las Piñas
ROBBERY INCIDENT – A salon in Las Piñas City was robbed by its former employee, resulting in a loss of income worth P20,000.
In the CCTV footage, a man broke into a salon in Las Piñas City on Tuesday morning (December 12, 2023). Las Piñas City Police Station reported that the intrusion happened a little past 8 in the morning when the man entered the closed salon.
According to Las Piñas City Police Station PCol. Jaime Santos, the suspect went straight inside and headed to the salon counter, where he searched for the key to the cash box. He made away with P20,000, a day’s earnings for the establishment.
“When the complainant representative conducted an inventory of the supposed collection of this salon, she discovered an amount of P20,000 was missing,” Santos said.
The salon manager revealed that the suspect was a former employee who resigned from the job last month. The suspect also allegedly failed to return the salon key.
“Lumipat siya ng ibang parlor. Once inside, he managed to open the cash box and took the cash with him then escaped,” explained PCol. Santos.
The police conducted a follow-up operation and initially went to the suspect’s address in Dasmariñas but found it vacant. “Bumalik sa parlor, kinausap po ng mga investigators natin ‘yung mismong mga kasamahan niya na hair stylist at tinuro ‘yung whereabout niya,” Santos added.
The suspect was arrested at a nearby salon where he had recently started working. P8,000 was recovered from him. He admitted to the crime, stating that he resorted to theft out of necessity.

“Kailangan dalhin sa ospital ‘yung nanay ko. Kailangan niya nang ma-laboratory kasi Stage 4 cancer na siya e. Nagmamakaawa ako sa kanya na iurong na ‘yung kaso kasi hindi naman masama ‘yung intensyon ko, kinuha ko lang ‘yung kailangan ko sana,” the suspect pleaded.
The suspect will face inquest proceedings and be charged with theft.
