POLICEMEN arrested on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, a rookie cop involved in a series of robbery and hold-up incidents in Laguna, Calabarzon police regional director Brigadier General Antonio Yarra said.
Yarra identified the arrested policeman as Patrolman Glenn Malijan Angoluan, who is assigned at the 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company of Laguna Police Provincial Office.
The Sto. Tomas City Police Station in Batangas reported that it received a report around 2:30 a.m. about a robbery incident in a gasoline station in Barangay Santiago.
This prompted the police to alert other units to conduct dragnet operations.
Angoluan was intercepted and arrested in a checkpoint along the National Highway of Barangay San Isidro in Pagsanjan.
He was positively identified by his victims.
“Investigation revealed that the suspect has been involved in a series of robbery/hold-up incidents in 7-Eleven Convenience Stores in Laguna AOR particularly Pagsanjan, Los Baños, Alaminos, and in Sto. Tomas, Batangas,” the police said.
Angoluan will be charged with robbery under Article 293 of the Revised Penal Code and will be turned over to Sto. Tomas City Police Station for proper disposition and documentation.
It was reported that Angoluan resorted to such kind of illicit activity after being into online cockfighting, commonly known as online sabong.
Yarra assured that administrative charges will be filed against the suspect and it will result in his removal from service. (SunStar Philippines)
