Bakeshop robber falls

- CHERK BALAGTAS

A call center agent ended up in jail after he panicked and left his bag containing his identifica­tion cards at the establishm­ent he robbed in Valenzuela City on Monday.

The suspect — identified as Gene Lucero — was arrested at his house along Cristobal Street, Barangay Karuhatan, the address on his ID that he left behind, and will face the charge of robbery with threat and intimidati­on.

It was learned that the police responded to Goldilocks Bakeshop, in Barangay Karuhatan, at around 3:30 p.m. after the establishm­ent’s staff called the police for help.

Using a knife, the suspect declared holdup and threatened the female crew, identified as Warren Jean Figueroa as he looted the store’s cash box with only P4,000 to P5,000 inside.
