SIX police officers assigned to the Manila Police District (MPD) were arrested for allegedly holding up three victims in Makati City, an initial police report said.
The alleged incident took place along Arsonvel Street in Barangay San Isidro on Wednesday night, according to the police report. The victims came from Malate, Manila and went to Arsonvel to pick up some belongings.
“However, when they arrived, a group of armed men suddenly pointed guns and forced [them] to lay down on the ground and tied [their] hands then forcibly took and carted away the victims’ belongings and fled afterward on board their motorcycles,” the police report explained.
Authorities later caught the suspects through a hot pursuit in operation and the victims positively identified them. The police report identified the suspects as a staff sergeant and five patrolmen assigned to the MPD Police Station 9 Malate.
