A MEMBER of the Drug Enforcment Unit (DEU) of the Waterfront Police Station was arrested Tuesday, April 7, 2020, by members of the Integrity Monitoring and Enhancementy Group (IMEG) Visayas Field Unit in Barangay Tejero, Cebu City for robbery extortion.
Police Lt. Colonel Christopher Rey Natnat, who led the team together with agents of the Regional Intelligence Division (RID) and Regional Special Operations Group (RSOG) 7, arrested Police Corporal Wenefredo Olangayo.
Natnat said they received a complaint against Olangayo allegedly for demanding an airconditioning unit from one their prisoners.
