The victim quickly rushed to the DCI headquarters to report his new findings to the Serious Crimes Unit.

The four rogue officers were immediately arrested and paraded in front of the victim who positively identified them as the same persons who had taken him through the 2-hour ordeal.

The four officers were put in custody as they wait to be arraigned in court to face robbery with violence charges, contrary to Section 296 (2) of the Penal Code.
