A 13-year-old girl said she was held-up shortly after midnight of yesterday at Brgy. Montinola, Jaro, Iloilo City.
“Lovely” (not her real name) claimed that she was dropped off at a corner in Montinola village, and on her way home, two men suddenly approached her and declared a hold-up.
“Lovely” told the police the suspects took her money and undressed her and fondled her private parts.
After the suspects left, the victim immediately reported the incident to the police.
Two police teams scoured the areas of La Paz and Jaro districts to look for the suspects but to no avail.
Two hours later, Jomar Nomong, 31, claimed that he was walking along Benedicto St., Jaro when a young man came to him, led him to dark area, and divested him of his mobile phone and cash.
