PALAYAN CITY, Nueva Ecija  — “Termite Gang” members tunneled their way into a bank and took off an estimated P1 million in cash in this city.

The robbery was discovered Monday morning.

In a report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Brig. Gen. Jess Mendez, the Nueva Ecija police said robbed was the branch of GM Bank located in Bgy. Caballero.

Security guard Alvin Sindanum, 36, a resident of Bgy. Sagana, Laur, Nueva Ecija discovered the burglary.
