Four of the 13 policemen reportedly involved in the kidnapping of a woman were arrested in an entrapment operation in Malabon City on Monday. The policemen took the victim’s Starex van, jewelry, gadgets and P6,000 cash before she was taken to the SDEU office in Malabon City. There, the policemen told Andales that she will be released if she paid P5 million. Albayalde said the seven policemen are with the Philippine National Police’s Civil Security Group and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group. The four were accused of demanding P400,000 from their two kidnapping victims in exchange for their release.
