A man seeking police clearance was arrested by the Las Piñas City Police Warrant and Subpoena Section (WSS) on Monday, November 4, after it was revealed that he had an outstanding estafa case pending in the Parañaque City court from two years prior.
According to Las Piñas City Police Chief, PCol. Sandro Tafalla, the individual, known by the alias “Rowell,” aged 40, was taken into custody at approximately 4:20 p.m. at the Records and Clearance Section of the National Police Commission situated in Robinsons Place, Barangay Talon, Las Piñas City.
Tafalla noted that personnel from the Records and Clearance Section promptly contacted the WSS to facilitate Rowell's arrest upon uncovering his pending estafa case, which was issued on February 17, 2021, by Judge Ramsey Domingo G. Pichay of the Parañaque City Metropolitan Trial Court, Branch 88, with a recommended bail set at P6,000.
