MANILA, Philippines – Burglars broke into the soldiers’ barracks near the official residence of Armed Forces chief of staff Gen Jessie Dellosa inside Camp Aguinaldo on Wednesday, August 29.

AFP spokesman Col Arnulfo Burgos said Thursday, August 30, that the theft occurred between 2 am and 5 am on Wednesday inside the barracks of the enlisted personnel and utility drivers near the so-called White House, the official residence of the AFP chief of staff. Among those taken were laptops, tablets, cellphones, cash and jewelry.

Investigators are questioning 20 people, including those who reported losing valuables from the thieves.

Dellosa is in Hawaii for official business.

Burgos said they have sought the assistance of police Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) to obtain fingerprints from the crime scene. Authorities also obtained the fingerprints of the 20 people being investigated.

This was not the first incident of theft inside the military’s general headquarters. Last June, an Army colonel lost his car to thieves inside Camp Aguinaldo. – Rappler.com
