TV5 reporters Lia Cruz and Magoo Marjon—who are in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to cover the 2016 Olympic Games—were robbed just hours before the opening ceremony.
In a series of tweets, Cruz revealed that thieves got into her room as well as Marjon's room at the official media village despite the use of a biometrics system for the rooms' locks.
An ABS-CBN News report said that Cruz allegedly lost €400 (around P21,000), while Marjon lost €600 (around P32,000).
