No Interest in Banks

There have been no bank robberies recorded in Metro Manila for the month of February. "It seems that bank robbers have shifted their operations from robbing banks to robbing clients who have just withdrawn large amount of money from banks. We are trying to stop this racket," Barias said in an interview.

The Metro police chief said the intelligence division of the National Capital Regional Police Office (NCRPO) is still in the process of collating figures on bank robberies and other cases in Metro Manila for the first quarter of the year and compare them to recorded cases for the same period last year.

He said majority of the robberies involving bank clients occurred in Pasig, Mandaluyong and Makati.

Barias urged bank officials to conduct a thorough background check on their employees and security guards so they would not be suspected of being "tipsters" working for robbery gangs.
