Two alleged hold-up men were forced to flee without their motorcycle when one of their two female victims refused to let go of it despite blows they gave her early morning Saturday in Brgy. Banilad, Dumaguete City.

The victims, Ivy Comawas, 19, and Salvarita Agus, both single, are residents of Bayawan City but are renting a house in Brgy. Tabuc-tubig. They said they were out jogging that morning along the southern highway when the two men called to them.

They said the unidentified men asked to borrow one of their cellphones to inform their families that they figured in a road accident.

But after Comawas handed over her Nokia 3315 cellphone to one of them, the one driving started the motorcycle, prompting Agus to grab the vehicle and refused to let go, even when the two men hit her three times.

Seeing that the woman was determined to stop them, the two men ran away.

Investigations later disclosed that the motorcycle was registered in the name of Wilfredo Magallano of Ma. Asuncion Village in Brgy. Daro, Dumaguete.*RG
