Authorities said that the names of the officers involved were being withheld pending the results of a pre-charge evaluation.

Four of the 15 officers involved in the dismissal were arrested in a sting operation in Biñan City in early January of last year, three of the remaining 11 were arrested in a series of raids in Laguna.

The remaining officers were all caught in surprise drug tests in different regions of Cavite.
