The Philippine National Police-Internal Affairs Service of the Philippine National Police (PNP-IAS) is investigating two policemen from Bacolod City who allegedly fired their guns and seized the money of nine persons arrested in an anti-illegal gambling operation last Tuesday.
IAS Inspector General Alfegar Triambulo said the motu proprio investigation is aimed at verifying the report and the claim of the suspects of the possible abuse of authority by the policemen that could warrant filing of administrative cases.
Based on the report received by the IAS, an anti-illegal gambling operation was conducted at around 10:30 am. last Jan. 19 in Purok 13, Barangay Mandalagan where at least nine people were arrested.
