A VAN containing cigarettes worth about P1.5 million was stolen by four unidentified men the other day in Malate, Manila.
Insp. Erwin Maluyo of the Manila Police District-Anti-Carnapping and Carjacking Unit (MPD-ANCAR) said the incident happened around 8 a.m., when the suspects on board a Toyota Revo blocked the van, a Mitsubishi Canter (XTW-900), in front of the St. Harold Funeral Parlor located at the corner of Adriatico Street and Quirino Avenue in Malate.
The said van reportedly contained 160 boxes of branded menthol cigarettes which were about to be delivered to various outlets
After blocking the way of the van, two armed men alighted and at gunpoint ordered the van’s driver and helper to get out. They were then directed to board the suspects’ vehicle while the armed men commandeered the van
The driver and helper were then brought to Kawit, Cavite, where they were left unharmed.
The van was later recovered somewhere in Vitas, Tondo but all its contents were already gone. Itchie G. Cabayan
