Initial investigation showed there was "no forced entry" to the establishment that night. The police believed the burglars might have used a "false key."
The complainant in this alleged robbery case was Ma. Aurora Rodriguez Collado, owner of the store.
Stolen were four units of Game Boy Micro, two units of MD Station Lite, four units of Bubble Plaster, six units of Game Boy Advance and one Value Pack, all with a total value of P316,089.25.
Also taken was one GP2000 and one GP308 handheld radio transceivers worth P30,000 from Eagle Matrix Security Agency, whose guards were posted in the place.
Police said the burglars broke into Toy Kingdom by unlocking the two padlocks of its roll-up metal door "with a false key as indicated by no forced entry" and proceeded to the establishment's administration office.
Once inside, the robbers destroyed two steel cabinets with the use of hammers and screwdrivers, before emptying them of their high-tech electronic gaming equipment.
Unsatisfied, they also ransacked the store's treasury office.
Before leaving, they took the two handheld radios being kept inside the drawer of the security guards' podium. (Ernie N. Olson Jr./Sun.Star Baguio/Sunnex)
