NCRPO files charges against 10 Taguig cops for 'warrantless' op

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has filed criminal charges against 10 Taguig City policemen for a viral 'warrantless' operation on February 9.

Brig. Gen. Anthony A. Aberin, NCRPO director, stated that the officers face charges of robbery, grave coercion, physical injury, obstruction of justice, malicious mischief, and violations of Republic Act 7610.

Aberin ordered the relief of these officers after the incident was widely shared on social media.

The Department of Justice will review the complaints to determine if there is sufficient evidence for conviction.

An administrative investigation will also take place to ensure compliance with due process, and those found guilty may face dismissal, demotion, or suspension based on their degree of participation in the illegal act.

NCRPO assures that all parties involved will have an opportunity to present their side and emphasizes adherence to police operational procedures.

Aberin stresses that any violation of law by police officers will result in disciplinary action, including dismissal or suspension.
