Police investigators have found some lapses in the conduct of an anti-illegal drugs operations in Rodriguez town of Rizal that led to the death of a three-year-old girl last month.
Col. Joseph Arguelles, head of the regional investigation and detection unit of the CALABARZON regional police, said their findings could lead to the filing of both administrative and criminal charges against some of the policemen who participated in the operation.
Police conducted the operation on June 29 near the house of Renato Dolorfina and another alleged drug pusher. The drug bust, however, went awry and it resulted in the gun battle. All the firearms of those who participated in the operation were subjected to ballistics examination to determine which firearms the bullet that killed the girl came from.
The official said that he could not yet determine how many cops would be slapped with criminal and administrative charges since their findings are yet to be validated by the ballistics examinations and other tests.
