MANILA, Philippines – Two men who allegedly robbed an LBC Express branch on Commonwealth Avenue on Saturday afternoon suffered serious injuries when they were caught by an angry mob. Superintendent Marcelino Pedrozo, Quezon City Police District Station 6 commander, said Joselito Baliwagana, 35; and Arnold Dollan, 36; were beaten up by people after bystanders saw them coming out of the mail delivery establishment after robbing it. Policemen who went to the scene saved the two from being lynched. However, the police failed to recover the P10,000 in cash the two men allegedly took from the establishment. Nancy C. Carvajal
