Policewoman posing as 'masseuse' lures drug suspect to arrest

A man who allegedly went into hiding after being charged with drug possession was lured out by a policewoman who posed as a masseuse.

According to Emil Sumangil's report on "24 Oras," the suspect Romeo Quizon Jr. is facing a charge for illegal possession of dangerous drugs in San Mateo, Rizal.

He was arrested in an operation of the CIDG-DSOU at fast food restaurant in Quezon City.

"Gumamit pa tayo ng policewoman dito na nagpanggap na masahista. Kinagat naman ito ng ating accused," Police Lt. Col. David Toktokan said.

(We used a policewoman who posed as a masseuse. Our accused bit the bait.)

“Sa kanyang defense, nilagay lang yung droga sa kanya. Siyempre, alibi niya yun,” he added.

(In his defense, he claims that the drugs were planted on him. That's just his alibi.)
