THE Portia Store owned by Bacolod City Councilor El Cid Familiaran and his wife Portia located at the downtown area lost around P600,000 worth of merchandise to teenagers who entered their establishment in separate instances.
Familiaran said the suspects include a 12-year-old boy and three 18-year-olds. He filed a case against the three suspects except for the 12-year-old, he said. Advertisement The suspects, who were detained at Police Station 1, operated for a week where they carted away P500,000 worth of slippers, or 40 sacks, at 150 pairs per sack and other items. The modus operandi involved making themselves a “human ladder” and letting the 12-year-old enter the stockroom through the window. They gained entry because the building security guard was sleeping all the time, the councilor said. Familiaran said the area is well-lighted, but then the guard was not able to respond. The couple requested the police to investigate the case deeper. Familiaran said they filed a case against the suspects to teach them a lesson. Two of the suspects have been detained at the Social Development Center, which houses children and teenagers in conflict with the law. (CNC) Sun Star Bacolod
