ALFONSO, Cavite — The National Bureau of Investigation arrested the alleged mastermind of a kidnap-for-ransom group that posed as law enforcers and victimized a Chinese family at a private resort in Alfonso, Cavite, authorities said.
The NBI’s Organized and Transnational Crimes Division said the suspects entered the resort pretending to be police officers and took cash and personal belongings worth more than 2 million pesos, including the victims’ passports.
The suspects later demanded an additional 500,000 pesos in exchange for returning the passports, according to the NBI agent-to-case.
An entrapment operation led to the arrest of two suspects in Manila and the alleged mastermind in San Pablo City, Laguna.
Eleven people face separate charges, including kidnapping for ransom, in connection with the scheme.
Charges were also filed against seven active police officers allegedly involved in the illegal operation.
