MANILA, Philippines — (UPDATE) One of the suspects in the late morning robbery in a watch shop in Greenbelt 5 was killed by authorities, as police continued to scour the perimeter of the Ayala-owned mall in Makati City for armed men who broke in the posh shopping mall Sunday.
The suspect was seen lying in front of the watch shop.
Police Officer 3 Joy Catapang said the robbery inside the Rolex watch store in Greenbelt-5 happened shortly before noon.

For a few hours, the entire complex was cordoned off as shoppers remained inside while police teams pursued the robbers believed to be still inside the establishment.
But normal operations have resumed in Greenbelt 1, 2, 3, and 4, although Greenbelt 5 remained closed.

Vehicles parked in the mall were also prohibited from leaving.
Authorities are still pursuing at least 11 suspects, according to a report by radio dzMM.
A bodyguard of Taguig Mayor Freddie Tinga, who was reportedly having lunch at the time of the incident, killed one of the robbers, reports said.

Makati councilor Jun Jun Binay is currently in the scene of the crime. [/quote]

Stupid robbers. hahahhaa.

Why rob an establishment that obviously doesn't scrimp on security?? akala nila they can pull the same stunt they did at SM Malls with Ayala Malls.

Dapat pinatay nila lahat yan. Si Binay dapat umalis sa crime scene, baka mapagkamalan syang magnanakaw!

ano ang nakuha ni binay?

Expect more cases like this, elections are coming soon.

[MaxAJ]

well they did succeed in robbing them

Marami ba nakuhang rolex watches yung mga robbers, or cash only?

If they were able to make off with a huge loot in kind, then sigurado
mga high-end customers ang mabebentahan nila kasi sobra mahal
ang Rolex.

The police should stake out the Batasan complex and see who among the tongressmen have new Rolex watches, hehehe.

set up?

or a politician went to the crime scene? just to be "shown on tv"?

robbers nowadays are much more dangerous and wise.
imagine wearing bomb squad uniform yun lang ginamit nila ng walang kahirap hirap para ma looban yung g5.

good thing walang namatay except lang dun sa isa sa mga robbers.
sana magawan din ng paraan para mas maging mahigpit ang security pa ng mga public places like malls.

Watch out for Rolex watches that is being peddled below P100k in the next few days..........

Too bad the two police officers on scene ran out of bullets, one of them hit a headshot pa. I bet some of the robbers were most likely shot aswell.

But these robbers are very gutsy, they play too much gta, maybe.
Come to think of it, they came in full bomb squad attire with m16, m14 rifles and a GRENADE LAUNCHER!? must be fake but still.. ballsey
They got away with rolex watches which I doubt is profitable as those watches are tracable, they will most likely wear them rather than sell them.

I think they might be showing off that they are pros and can do what ever they want. Mind you they had to run pretty far from the scene to their get away vehicles which was parked in front of fullybooked on the underpass. Although I'm quite amazed how they got away easily around Makati area. I swear they could've just parked at Landmark and do some shopping and no one will still know. It shows how poor communications within the security agency system and police response take place. sayang

Btw- if any of them are laughing right now reading the news, forums to admire how awesome they are to pull off a heist.. 'you're lucky streak can only last for so long, you will end up with a bullet in your head.. like your friend'

I read somewhere, that those 2 officers who shot it out w/ the robbers, are security escorts of Taguig City Mayor Tinga, who happened to be at the vicinity of that Rolex store.

Sayang, isa lang nadale nila......

yup, they are bolder and more vicious. Sabagay, malapit na kasi ang election kaya siguradong talamak uli ang mga robberies na yan.

ang nakakatakot e pag na-flag down ka sa isang CheckPoint . . . pano natin malalaman kung tutuong pulis nga ang nakamando duon? Kumpleto uniforms, vehicles, at firearms. Kaya dapat i-intensify ang paghuli sa mga tindahan na nagbebenta ng mga police/military uniforms sa kung sinu-sino. Pati na ang mga taong nakasuot nito at mga vehicles na may PNP stickers/plates na hindi naman mga pulis!

Kaya nga't heto na naman ang MEDIA . . . napaka-iresponsable! Oo nga't tinakpan nila ang mga mukha ng mga magigiting na pulis sa interbyu nila pero inilabas naman nila ang mga pangalan .

Mafi muk, muk hada!!!
