CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga —\u00a0 A power cooperative office in Mabalacat City, Pampanga on Tuesday was hit by robbers.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Brig. Gen. Jess Mendez,\u00a0 the Pampanga police said robbed was the PELCO office located in Madapdap Resettlement, Mabalacat City.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Initial investigation showed security guard Michael Bautista Lacandola, 54, was on duty inside the establishment when the suspects, posing as customers, entered the premises.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the suspects, armed with a cal. .45 pistol, suddenly threatened the guard and forced him toward the teller\u2019s office.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The suspects then dragged Lacandola to the area where teller Girlie David Masangkay, 44, was working and where the office\u2019s safety vault was located.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The robbers ordered the teller to open the vault and the suspects then took the office\u2019s undetermined cash collection for the day before fleeing on a black motorcycle.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Police promptly issued a flash alarm for the possible interception of the suspects while Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) were deployed to process the crime scene and gather evidence.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
