Gone in 60 Seconds

AT LEAST 10 men, including three in police uniform, hit the showroom of a car dealership branch in Quezon City and drove off with two brand new vehicles worth a total of 10 million pesos.

Police said that the robbers also took the safety vault of the Ford Philippines branch on Edsa Balintawak corner Seminary Road, Barangay Bahay Toro, Quezon City.

Police said that at around 2 a.m. Wednesday, three men in police uniform arrived at the branch on board a Toyota Revo (WTJ 562) and ordered security guards Vicente Loreco, 31, Nilo Musong, 34, and Roleto Maputol, 34, to let them in.

The robbers told the guards that they had received information that a crime was going to take place in the vicinity, according to the investigators.

As soon as the guards opened the gate, at least seven other robbers in hiding swept past the guards and immediately disarmed them.

The suspects then got behind the wheel of a fully-loaded Expedition and a silver Everest.

Some of the other robbers took the car accessories on display at the showroom, as well as the safety vault in the office. A Ford employee told police that the vault contained important documents and an undetermined amount of money.

Central Police District investigators are looking into the possibility that the robbery was an inside job.

hehehe tama ang hula ko sa laman nang title mo..... yung nakawan sa Ford Balintawak....

Bakit kaya 2 sasakyan lang ang kinuha nila? yon lang ba ang nakadisplay don? bakit di sila kumuha nang lynx rs, ranger, etc....kasi andun na rin lang sila di ba? bakit yung dalawa lang na sasakyan tapos 10 sila......hmmmm baka naman 2 lang ang marunong mag-drive o kaya e 2 lang ang me drivers license...hehehe

dapat pala dyan sa mga dealer ship eh hindi lalagyan nang gas at battery yung mga nakadisplay na sasakyan, at least medyo matatagalan yung mga kawatan na paandarin yon....hehehe

teka...how were they able to drive off? saan sila dumaan? through the windows?

i don't think they plan to sell the cars...that would take too long. so that means gagamitin nila...but for what?

it does seem fishy that the showroom cars had batteries and were gassed up

**5Speed** · February 5th, 2004 07:12 PM

yup...alam ko me gas yang mga yan, but minimal or almost andon na sa reserve level nang sasakyan... dahil di naman pwedeng walang wala unless lang na tinulak nila yan buhat don sa garahe...

malamang eh i-chop chop nila yan...or kung balak gamitin eh dadalhin sa mga provinces...or baka me buyer na sila sa mga probinsya na hindi masyadong pinapansin nang lto...

Cguro kaya yun Expendition lang at Everest ang kinuha nila dahil mahal na yung dalawa na yun..Iniisip nila na "Ito na lang ang mga kunin natin dahil Millions na rin itong mga sasakyan na ito...:D

Gagamitin yan pangampanya nung pulitikong nagpanakaw malamang.......if you see a political aspirant using a new expe and and a silver everest as one of his campaign vehicles.. :D

WTJ-562... wait a minute. Private plates ito diba? That means wala malamang police markings/lights on top yung vehicle na ginamit ng robbers... and the security guards didn't find anything suspicious about this?!?
