Men Posing as Investigators Beat Undercover Cop

Monday morning a policeman dressed as a civilian was walking down Avenue B in Casco Antiguo around 9th street when a black Toyota Yaris intercepted him.

Three men jumped out of the car, posed as state investigators, grabbed the undercover officer’s cell phone and a scuffle ensued during which the officer was beaten.  Once the three men realized that the man was not just any civilian, they fled the scene.

The National Police and the Institutional Protection Service joined forces to apprehend the three attackers in Chorillo who have since been remanded for processing, La Critica reports.
