NAGA CITY—A losing streak incurred after playing in an online gaming shop here all night prompted a 51-year-old gambler to rob the gaming shop on Tuesday, according to police.

Senior Supt. Antonio Gardiola, city police chief, said police arrested Domingo Abelinde at a checkpoint in a village here an hour after Abelinde tried to escape with P30,000 in cash that he took from the cashier of the online gaming outlet here.

Police seized a pistol and suspected shabu from Abelinde, said Gardiola.
