Robbers broke into the local Commission of Elections (Comelec) office in Mandaluyong City yesterday, taking with them four computers.

Superintendent Ericson Velasquez, Mandaluyong City police chief said the robbers entered the Comelec office by destroying he padlock of the main door.

Velasquez said they received a report of the break-in at the Comelec office, which is just a stone’s throw away from police headquarters, at 4 a.m.

"We are still awaiting inventory of the missing items inside the Comelec office," said Velasquez adding that initial findings showed that four CPUs were missing.

Velasquez noted that the robbers even turned on the office electric fan apparently to cool themselves while staging the robbery.

He pointed out that there is no cash in the said office but only documents. "What puzzles us is that they took only the CPUs," Velasquez said.
