Man Caught on Camera Breaking into School in Bulacan and Stealing Teacher’s P120,000 Cash
A man was caught on CCTV breaking into a school in Bocaue, Bulacan, stealing P120,000 in cash from a teacher.
The money, meant for the teacher’s medication, her husband’s salary, 13th-month pay, and their Christmas party expenses, was taken when the man slipped into the school unnoticed.
The CCTV footage shows the man leaving a classroom after the theft. Another camera captured him walking around the school and even asking students if any teachers were still around. He took advantage of the school’s busy atmosphere, waiting for the right moment to commit the crime.
Authorities have launched a search for the man, who remains at large. They also noted that another school in Bocaue was robbed recently, possibly by the same individual.
In another incident in Iloilo, CCTV captured a man stealing from a school. He reportedly entered the Philippine Science High School – Western Visayas Campus, pretending to be a visitor and passing through the guardhouse.
During the school’s flag-raising ceremony, the man entered the faculty room and classrooms, taking laptops, cell phones, and cash from students and teachers.
