Two loan officers were reportedly held-up at gunpoint Wednesday afternoon in Barangay Magballo, Kabankalan City, Negros Occidental.

Police identified the victims as Deo Nathan Antonio, a resident of Barangay Camansi in the said city; and Ceazar Ian Doriman of Barangay Galicia, Ilog.

Based on information provided by Kabankalan City police, the two were heading back to their office on a motorcycle when they were stopped by two unidentified men, who were also aboard a motorcycle.

One of the suspects dismounted and pointed a revolver at the victims declaring a hold-up.

The gunman proceeded to take the victims’ backpacks, which contained collection money amounting to P58,778 in cash.

The suspect then returned to his motorcycle and fled.
