The four allegedly pretended to be police officers and members of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in order to get entry. The security guard at the apartment was skeptical, so he demanded confirmation that they were cops, but they were unable to produce identification.

The four suspects are currently charged with breaking the Comelec weapons ban, unlawful guns and ammunition possession, and Usurpation of Authority. Meanwhile, officials detained a guy who pretended to be a military and stole P40 million from a Ponzi scheme.
