Bank robbed anew; police note ‘lapses’

Four men, two of them armed with pistols, pulled off a heist at East West Bank on Archbishop Reyes Ave., Cebu City yesterday.

It was the second time the bank was robbed this year. Last Jan. 31, five armed men allegedly led by now jailed robbery gang leader Rey Torres fled with about P500,000.

The bank management has yet to report the exact amount taken yesterday but assured their “depositors that appropriate steps are being undertaken to protect the bank’s assets and its clients against similar incidents.”
