BACOLOD City – Two unidentified men robbed an elderly woman inside her house at Barangay Taculing here Sunday.
Police Major Elmer Bonilla, head of Police Station 6, said that the 76-year-old victim was lying on the couch when the robbers, whose faces were covered with handkerchiefs, entered her house around 4 p.m.
One of them threatened her at gunpoint.
When the victim was about to stand, the robber allegedly grabbed her cellular phone and asked her about her money and jewelry.
The victim also saw the other robber searching for her valuables.
The robbers allegedly carted two television sets, a laptop, a pair of sunglasses, cellular phone, a jewelry box, a bag containing a folding cane, an umbrella, and P1,000 cash, and fled, leaving her unharmed.
Bonilla said the victim was living alone. “She was probably monitored before the perpetrators stormed her house,” he added.
Bonilla said that they will check a copy of the closed circuit television (CCTV) footage from the victim’s neighbors to identify the robbers.
He said they already have a lead on the suspects, adding that it could be the same perpetrators who were behind the series of robbery incidents here in the past weeks.
“It’s somehow the same modus of the previous incidents,” he said.
