Female Call Center Agent in Quezon City Robbed on Her Way to Work
ROBBERY INCIDENT – A call center agent was robbed on her way to work in Barangay Paang Bundok, Quezon City.
On early Tuesday morning (December 3, 2024), a call center agent, known as Grace, experienced a horrifying incident in Barangay Paang Bundok, Quezon City. While heading to work, she was stopped and robbed by a man who got out of an AUV.
CCTV footage showed the man snatching her belongings and forcefully pushing her to the ground. Grace recounted that she was on her way to catch a ride when the vehicle stopped beside her.
“Papasok po ako ng trabaho…palabas po ako ng street namin, sa kanto kasi dapat ako sasakay. Tapos bago ako makalabas ng kanto para makasakay, meron pong sasakyan na huminto sa tabi ko po tapos mayroong isang lalaki na bumaba umikot siya sa likod at binlock ang way ko at kinuha yung gamit ko. Tinulak niya ako tapos napahiga ako at bumagsak nalang po sa kalsada,” the victim said.
A man stepped out, blocked her path, and grabbed her things. After the attack, she rushed back home, managing to note the vehicle’s license plate.
“So nakuha po niya ung mga gamit ko lahat tapos tumakbo nalang din ako pauwi ng bahay kasi po mas malapit yung way ko sa bahay tapos tiningnan ko nalang din po yung plate niya para lang po alam ko,” she added.
Grace immediately reported the incident to the authorities, prompting the La Loma police to launch a quick operation. Using CCTV footage, they tracked the suspect and apprehended him within 10 hours.
Although the suspect was caught, the stolen items, including ATM cards, identification documents, P1,500 in cash, and a cellphone, were not recovered. The police, however, managed to seize the vehicle used in the crime.
The arrested suspect is now in custody at the La Loma police station and faces charges of robbery-snatching. Meanwhile, efforts are ongoing to locate his accomplice.
