P.4-M reward up in Dagupan heist

DAGUPAN CITY, Philippines – A P400,000 reward is being offered for the arrest of the robbers behind the P10-million heist at the BHF Gemline Pawnshop here last Nov. 10.   

Superintendent Romeo Caramat Jr., city police chief, told The STAR yesterday the reward was jointly put up by Mayor Benjamin Lim and the pawnshop’s owner. 

Caramat said a member of the “Martilyo Gang” behind mall robberies in Metro Manila could be part of the group that broke into the pawnshop, as hammers were used to shatter the glass cabinet containing the pieces of jewelry.
