2 Delivery Riders Became Victims of Robbery in Davao City
Two delivery riders in Davao City became victims of robbery in separate incidents involving riding-in-tandem suspects.
On Thursday (July 10, 2025), two delivery riders lost hard-earned money and belongings in two separate robbery incidents in Davao City.
The first incident happened just before noon in DSA Village, Balusong, Barangay Matina Crossing. The rider had just completed a parcel delivery when two armed men wearing bonnets suddenly arrived on a motorcycle.
According to the police, one of the suspects pointed a gun at the rider and took his sling bag. Inside were around P4,000 in cash, a cellphone, and important IDs.
Earlier that same day, another delivery rider was held up in Zone 1, San Antonio, Barangay Buhangin Proper. He had just picked up a parcel for delivery when a man with a gun approached him as he was about to get on his motorcycle.
The suspect demanded the rider’s sling bag, which contained P6,500 in cash and a phone. After the robbery, the man quickly fled on a motorcycle driven by his accomplice, who had been waiting nearby.
