NCRPO cracks down on cops using stolen carsMANILA, Philippines — The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) yesterday launched a crackdown on policemen using stolen vehicles recovered in operations for personal use. Gen. Debold Sinas said they started checking the license plates of cars used by police officers on orders of Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa. The program, dubbed “Oplan Viserion,” is part of the internal cleansing efforts of the PNP, which penalizes officers who bought unregistered and stolen vehicles. Sinas said the inspectors found that a majority of motorcycles and cars had no license plates, prompting speculations that these might be stolen vehicles recovered by police. Starting yesterday, vehicles without registration papers were barred from entering the NCRPO headquarters.
