Police arrested one of three men who tried to stage a daring robbery at Davao City pawnshop in broad daylight on Wednesday morning.
The suspect was nabbed by lawmen while trying to flee with his cohorts after robbing Hannah’s pawnshop in Ilustre Street.
A spokesperson for the Davao City Police Office said they are withholding the identity of the arrested suspect while his accomplices are being pursued.
Initial investigation showed that the three armed robbers entered the pawnshop at around 10: 00 am and took all the jewelry on display.
The suspects managed to enter the establishment by bludgeoning the security guard with a hard object.
After taking all the jewelry in sight, the robbers made a quick getaway.
The dazed guard then called the police, who quickly responded, leading to the arrest of a suspect.
