Man Steals 3 Cartons of Milk from Grocery Store in Bacolod City
A man was caught on CCTV allegedly stealing three cartons of milk from a grocery store in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
The robbery incident was recorded by the store’s security cameras, which showed the suspect acting like a regular customer while moving around the grocery store. At first, he appeared to be calmly browsing different products and selecting items from the shelves, making it seem like he was simply doing his shopping.
However, as he reached the section where milk products were displayed, his actions reportedly changed. According to the footage, the man grabbed three cartons of milk worth around P1,500 each and quickly hid them inside his jacket and pockets.
Store employees later said that the suspect even approached the cashier and asked about a product before making his move. This made it appear as though he was a genuine customer, helping him avoid suspicion for a short period of time.
After concealing the milk cartons, the man allegedly attempted to leave the grocery store without paying. The cashier noticed what was happening and immediately called out to him. Realizing he had been spotted, the suspect reportedly rushed toward the exit.
During his escape, several of the milk cartons reportedly fell to the ground as he ran. Despite the cashier’s efforts to stop him, the suspect managed to get away before anyone could catch him.
