FAKE NBI AGENTS ARRESTED IN PARAÑAQUE

POLICE arrested three men posing as agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in an attempt to extort money from a store in Parañaque City.

Nabbed were alias “Bernard,” 44; alias “John,” 29; and alias “Lenon,” 24.

Investigation showed the suspects allegedly presented a fake search warrant claiming the store sold illegal tobaccos and cigarettes.

They threatened the store’s cashier and demanded a P100,000 to avoid penalties for selling illegal tobacco products.

Aseana security guards noticed the commotion and intervened. Upon verification, it was learned  that the trio were not legitimate NBI agents.

Personnel from the Tambo Police Sub-Station responded to the scene and arrested the suspects.

Charges of robbery, extortion, usurpation of authority, malicious mischief, grave threat and falsification of documents were filed against the arrested suspects before the Parañaque Prosecutor’s Office.
