BACOLOD City – Two robbery hold-up incidents at Barangay 35 here were reported to Police Station 1 in two consecutive days.

The most recent happened Dec 3, victimizing a female loan collector.

Police records showed that the victim was collecting debts while riding a motorcycle when an unidentified man wearing a facemask choked and threatened her at knifepoint.

The robber then allegedly took her bag, where she placed her collection amounting to P60,000, then fled.

On Dec 2, a roast chicken store also lost P5,055 in sales to a suspected robber.

Investigation indicated that the suspect, who was later identified as Mark Leo Bunda, 31, of Barangay Alijis here, entered the store and threatened the 24-year-old female victim with a knife.

Bunda, however, was caught by bystanders and responding policemen.

Police recovered from him the stolen cash and the weapon. He is detained at the said police station.
