2 CAVITE COPS IN VIRAL ROBBERY-HOLDUP VIDEO NABBED

AGENTS of the Philippine National Police – Integrity Monitoring and Enforcement Group arrested two of the seven members of the Imus City Police Station in Cavite who were caught on video “robbing” the house of a retired professor last August.

Suspects dismissed Cpl. Jenerald Cadiang, 33, and active Police Senior MSgt. Daisy Diones, 43, were arrested on the strength of a warrant for robbery by the use of force upon things under Article 299 of the Revised Penal Code.

Judge Giovanni Palma of the Imus City Regional Trial Court Branch 121 issued the warrant of arrest.

According to PNP-IMEG director Brig. Gen. Warren F. De Leon, the two were former drug operatives of the Imus City Police Station who were seen in a viral video “robbing” the house of a former professor three months ago.

De Leon said that the warrant of the arrest stemmed from a complaint of a relative of a former professor who was tagged by the accused as an alleged drug suspect.

The complaint said that the suspects forcibly opened the door of the professor’s house and once inside, some of them ransacked the place and stole several valuables, including motorcycle wheels.

The official said his men are still tracking down the other accused as of press time.

The two arrested suspects were detained at the Imus City police lock-up facility pending their posting of bail.
