THE Quezon City Police District on Wednesday confirmed that 10 personnel from Police Station 14 in Barangay Holy Spirit have been placed under restrictive custody following a viral post alleging irregularities during an Oplan Galugad on April 12.
The police station initially reported the arrest of five men for illegal gambling or violation of Presidential Decree 1602.
On April 22, a validation showed that a handbag with suspected dried marijuana leaves was recovered but not documented, inventoried or turned over to the crime laboratory.
“No charges under RA 9165 were filed, constituting neglect of duty and grave misconduct,” the QCPD statement read. All involved personnel have been relieved from their posts, reassigned to the QCPD headquarters, and had their issued firearms secured.
