Three PNP Subofficers Ordered to 14 Months Preventive Detention

The court’s decision reflects prosecutors’ push to hold police suspected of extortion and theft to account in Lima Norte.

Overview

  • Prosecutors say the case began with a police intervention on October 16 in a home on Avenida Antúnez de Mayolo in San Martín de Porres where a woman and her father were detained.
  • The Fiscalía alleges one subofficer then contacted the woman’s partner and demanded S/4,000 to avoid formal arrests.
  • Investigators report that S/6,000 went missing from the house during the intervention and that this alleged theft is part of the probe.
  • The three subofficers identified as Randy S., David C., and Anggelo D. were arrested in flagrante when they collected the agreed payment while traveling in two vehicles.
  • The court accepted evidence presented by the FECOF team including intervention reports, security video, phone data, open-source checks of payment and location records, and chemical tests on the bills, and the investigation by the Fiscalía and the Anti‑Corruption Police continues.
