4 bogus NBI men, 2 others nabbed in Angeles’ Korean Town

ANGELES CITY—Police arrested four men, who posed as National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) agents, and their two companions following a complaint from a businessman in Korean Town here on Monday night.

Members of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Team (CIDT) here received a call about a group of armed men who claimed to be NBI agents from Nueva Ecija inspecting establishments at Korean Town in Barangay Malabanias for supposed human trafficking.

Police arrested Edgar Allan Rivera, Lito Valdez, Jover Roque and Teofilo Soriano Jr. after a check with the NBI regional office in the City of San Fernando showed they were not members of the agency.

Recovered from them were six handguns and assorted bullets and magazines.

Their companions, Jeffrey Alipio and Jonathan Obedoza, who were unarmed when found in the group’s Mitsubishi Adventure, were also arrested.
