SIX policemen from the Manila Police District – Station 9 were arrested in Makati City while their station commander was relieved from his post after three men filed a complaint of robbery hold-up against them.
The said station chief was relieved due to command responsibility while the six policemen are now detained and being subjected to a thorough investigation.
Reportedly, the six Manila policemen were arrested by the Makati Police based on complaints lodged by victims Raul, Rosemarie and Manuel.
They told the Makati Police that at 7:48 p.m., the suspects blocked their path and took their belongings while they were on Arsonbel Street in Barangay San Isidro, Makati City.
Before that, the victims reported to the police that they met two women in Malate, Manila and were told to meet up in the said area. Once there, however, they were met by the cops who at gunpoint ordered them to lie face down on the ground. They were then hogtied before their things were taken and the cops boarded motorcycles and sped away.
The suspects were later identified through a back tracking operation which resulted in their subsequent arrest.
Meantime, charges of robbery hold-up have been filed against the cop-suspects before the Makati Prosecutors Office.
