DAVAO CITY – A police officer assigned to the First Davao City Mobile Force Company was arrested in an entrapment operation on Friday afternoon, Oct. 10, for alleged involvement in illegal drug activities and extortion.
The Davao City Police Office identified the suspect as Wang.
Wang was arrested in Barangay Sasa here and yielded one sachet of suspected shabu weighing 4.80 grams and P30,000 marked money.
