Officials of Barangay Baldoza in La Paz, Iloilo suspect that a recent break-in at the barangay hall to steal parts of the CCTV unit may be related to a shooting incident.

It was morning on March 16, 2026 when officials found out that the motherboard and monitors of the barangay’s CCTV camera have gone missing.

Documents of the barangay treasurer also went missing.

The suspect may have entered the barangay hall through the window after climbing over the gate at the covered court beside it.

The incident happened a day after a shooting incident on March 15.

Officials suspect the theft may have something to do with a shooting incident in the barangay the day before on March 15. However, a copy of the CCTV footage has already been given to the police.

“May posibilidad, pero it’s too late naman kay before ang pagnanakaw, may footage na ang pulisya,” said William Yap, barangay kagawad.

Kahit na in-erase pa nila iyon, wala namang bearing ang CCTV nila sa barangay hall kasi may hawak na kaming kopya,” said Capt. Gimel Acuesta, chief of the Iloilo City Police Station 2.

Investigation into the incident continues, as of this writing.
