Couple robbed in Talisay
CEBU – A couple in barangay Poblacion, Talisay City, was robbed past midnight yesterday but only one of the robbers was arrested and locked up in jail.
Richard Cabardo, 28, a resident of barangay Cansojong, Talisay City, was positively identified by the victims Germancio Alejado, 29, and his wife, Algie, 27, as the one who declared a holdup and ran away with Algie’s bag that contained valuables.
Investigation made by Talisay police revealed that the couple was on their way home from work at 12:30 a.m. onboard a trisikad driven by Germancio himself when Cabardo and a companion allegedly stopped them, pointed a gun of unknown caliber at them, and declared a holdup.
The suspect reportedly took Algie’s shoulder bag which contained personal belongings and valuables.
However, barangay tanods of San Roque learned of the incident and responded immediately, eventually cornering Cabardo.
The other robber who was yet unidentified was able to flee and is still at large.
Cabardo is presently detained at the Talisay detention cell while the filing of appropriate charges is pending in court. — Cressida Paula G. Delmo/MEEV (THE FREEMAN)
