CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — An Automated Teller Machine (ATM) of the Philippine Savings Bank (PSB) installed at a convenience store on North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) in Apalit town was carted away last week by still unidentified men.

A report submitted by the Pampanga Provincial Police Office to Central Luzon Police Director Leon Nilo Dela Cruz stated 15 armed men dismantled the ATM of the bank and took it away. The robbery took place at about 2 a.m. near the Total gas station on NLEx.

The report also stated robbers wore black and fatigue uniforms with some of them carrying “SAGSDI” and “Bitag” identification cards.

The suspects were on board a white L300 FB van with license plate number ZKR 227, a silver Toyota Revo vehicle with license number XPU 338, a white Toyota Corolla car, a white Toyota Revo vehicle, and a red Nissan Urban van, it was also reported.

Dela Cruz said that his investigators are coordinating with the management of NLEx in an effort to solve the robbery incident, which is said to be the first of its kind in Region 3.

“We have asked the NLEx management to provide us with the video feeds of its CCTV (closed circuit television) to help us identify the group that pulled the robbery,” Dela Cruz said.

Artist’s sketches of the robbers based on the testimonies and descriptions provided by witnesses were completed by the Apalit town policemen.

The sketches are expected to help police investigators identify the robbers.
Police have yet to determine how much money was in the ATM when it was taken away.
