KALIBO, Aklan – A lending company in this capital town was robbed by two unidentified persons yesterday morning.

Motor Trust Lending Corporation along Veterans Avenue was robbed around 9:55 a.m. Verlyn Apundar, assistant supervisor of the lending company, was alone in the office when the suspects entered.

Randy Barerra, a collector of the lending company, reported to the Kalibo Police Station that the two pretended to be clients but later declared a hold-up. He said one of the suspects was armed with a .38 revolver.

The suspects demanded from Apundar their cash collection, but Apundar denied having the money. One the suspects then beat her and gagged her with a masking tape.

When he and their supervisor arrived at the office, they were also seized by the suspects.

The suspects carted away the P94,000 cash collection kept in the drawer of their supervisor, Barera said./PN
