A woman reported to Police Precinct 1 that an unidentified person held her up at gunpoint at the LBC Express Inc. office at Lacson Street in Bacolod City at about 1 p.m. Saturday, police reports said.

Charlotte Dela Cruz Abancio, 28, single, of Katiklan, Victorias City, Negros Occidental told the police that an unidentified person posing as a customer approached her at her office, and poked a .38 caliber revolver at her and declared a hold-up and threatened to shoot her if she would not hand to him a box which contained her collection of P10,000 in different denominations, police reports said.

Abancio said the hold-upper also took her cellphones.

She said the culprit stands about 5 feet and 9 inches tall, is between 30 to 35 years old, has a brown complexion, and was wearing a red baseball cap, blue jacket and shorts pants at the time of the incident.

SPO1 Mario Ecostan, of Police Precinct 1, yesterday said Abancio failed to identify the hold-upper from among the pictures in Rogue's Gallery of Police Precinct 1, but they are still investigating the case.

Meanwhile, a 16-year-old trisikad driver also reported to Police Precinct 2 that his three passengers held him up at Purok Mangga, Brgy. 3 in Bacolod City at about 11:30 p.m. Friday, police reports said.

Luviano said one of three fled on the trisikad towards Jalandon Street, Brgy. 16, while he proceeded to Police Precinct 2 to report the incident.*DMG
