CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Police arrested a city hall employee for allegedly demanding money from an amusement park operator.

John Laro, alias Jun Lazaro, 46, was nabbed in an entrapment operation based on the complaint of Rosalie Castillo, owner of a small funfair in Barangay Macabalan.

Castillo said Laro demanded P5,000 for the funfair to continue operating. Failure to pay would mean cancellation of the fair’s permit.

Castillo said it was the third time the suspect extorted money from her.
