MANILA, March 27 (Reuters) - Burglars ransacked the offices of a Canadian-run gold mine on the troubled southern Philippine island of Mindanao earlier this week and stole the payroll for local staff, police said on Thursday.
Superintendent Jose Bayani Gucela, police spokesman in the Western Mindanao region, said about 1.1 million pesos ($26,378) in cash was taken from the offices of the TVI Resource Development Inc. on Tuesday.
The company is an affiliate of Calgary-based TVI Pacific Inc (TVI.TO: Quote, Profile, Research).
“We got the report only today when the mining firm’s finance officer reported for work after a long Easter holiday,” Gucela told reporters, adding the office’s vault was destroyed.
