00:00 Three LTO officers were arrested for allegedly looking at license plates.
00:06 The suspects were also making peking plaka inside the plant using the agency's materials.
00:14 Joseph Moro was also on the scene.
00:16 The plant is where the license plates of the vehicles are made at the Land Transportation Office or LTO.
00:24 The LTO officers are standing side by side printing the plates.
00:29 But despite this, some people were still making peking plaka using the LTO's materials.
00:37 It has been a few months since the security guard saw the new way of printing.
00:44 We also saw an employee inside because they were segregating it in another place.
00:52 They saw their mastermind, their leader, taking it from where it was placed when it was made.
01:00 The three suspects were quickly caught by the Special Project Group of the Department of Interior and Local Government,
01:06 which were Gen. Rodney Arida, R.J. Agnasco and Valeriano Labaino.
01:11 They were able to get five pieces of license plates.
01:14 But 38 pairs of license plates were missing from the LTO's inventory.
01:18 Another suspect in the crime was a LTO employee, Alan Joker Abrigo, who resigned before the operation.
01:27 The LTO's investigation revealed that the plant is where the peking plaka made to order are made.
01:36 The plates are printed at the price of P5,000 to P10,000 per piece.
01:40 What numbers they do, they order it.
01:42 They won't scan it anymore, the plate, so they can't activate the QR code.
01:48 The media did not have a chance to talk to the suspects after they were confronted earlier.
01:53 The LTO is investigating if there are other suspects and how long this has been happening in the agency.
01:59 Four people are facing the charges of qualified theft and robbery.
02:02 But it is also said that the peking plaka that are sold are proven to be anti-fencing gloves.
02:08 It is possible that the peking plaka are used in illegal activities.
02:12 That is why DLG will consult with the highway patrol group of the PNP to be cautious when the vehicles are being stolen.
02:19 This is a warning to all buyers. Don't just rely on the peking plaka. Check with the LTO immediately.
02:27 For GMA Integrated News, Joseph Morong, for Tutok 24 Horas.
