TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol – Four Cebu-based Land Transportation Office (LTO) enforcers who were assigned in Bohol province were arrested in an entrapment operation by agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)-Bohol on Wednesday afternoon. Lawyer Rennan Augustus Oliva, NBI-Bohol chief, said the entrapment operation was conducted following a complaint filed by a tour operator against the four LTO enforcers for extortion. Oliva said last October, they received a letter from LTO regional director Victor Emmanuel Caindec asking assistance to conduct an investigation on reported mulcting activities of some LTO enforcers in Bohol. At 4 p.m. on Wednesday, NBI agents conducted an entrapment operation against the erring LTO enforcers. Magan was instructed by the enforcers to deliver the P10,000 at the Vest Pension House in Tagbilaran.
