Six police officers from the Manila Police District were arrested for their alleged involvement in a robbery in Makati City.

According to a report by Boy Gonzales, the incident happened along Arsonvel Street, Barangay San Isidro, Makati City at around 8:00 p.m. on January 28.

Based on the initial investigation, the victims reportedly met two women in Malate, Manila who invited them to go to Makati to retrieve some of their belongings. However, upon arriving at the location, they were suddenly blocked by a group of armed men.

The suspects allegedly pointed a gun at the victims, forced one of them to lie down, tied their hands, and took their personal belongings.

After the incident, the suspects fled the scene aboard motorcycles.

Personnel of the Makati City Police immediately conducted a hot pursuit operation, which led to the arrest of six suspected perpetrators.

Those arrested include one police sergeant, one police corporal, and four patrolmen.

The suspects are now in the custody of the Makati City Police, while authorities are preparing to file the appropriate charges against them.

DZRH News is still seeking the statement of the Manila Police District regarding the incident.
