A businesswoman was robbed inside a comfort room (CR) in a mall in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, according to the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on Monday, February 12.
PMaj. Mike Diaz, the Deputy Station Commander of QCPD Station 10, said two robbers followed the 32-year-old businesswoman, whose name cannot be disclosed, to the CR's cubicle shortly after she ate in a restaurant.
The suspects reportedly stabbed the victim's hands and hit the latter's head with a bottle to steal her belongings.
"Sa pag-imbestiga natin, bale dalawa ang suspek. Yung isa [suspek] yung pumasok, yung isa ay nasa labas ng mall. Yung isa, sinundan ang biktima hanggang sa loob ng CR at doon kinuha ang gamit. Base sa inisyal na imbestigasyon, posibleng hiniwa ang babae [sa kamay] tapos pinalo sa ulo gamit ang bote. Na-recover natin ang bote na ginamit," he told DZRH in an interview.
