Seven police personnel in Zambales were removed from their posts after they were accused of recycling illegal drugs by their colleagues.
Maj. Michael Villanueva, chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG -Olongapo), said the unnamed policemen were also allegedly giving protection to drug suspects and other criminals.
Villanueva said the rogue cops were subjected to investigation since August this year.
They were mostly assigned in Subic town and other police stations in the province.
He said the so-called "ninja cops" were accused by drug suspects they arrested during anti-narcotic operations.
Villanueva also said they obtained enough evidence to administratively charge the ninja cops.

Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard “Ahong” Chan decided to terminate the two traffic enforcers who were involved in the questionable issuance of a citation ticket against a driver Saturday night, December 12, 2020, in Barangay Pusok.
(After a thorough investigation, we decided to impose a penalty of termination to the two enforcers who were involved in the issuing of the citation to the driver.)
Mario Napule, head of the City Traffic Management System (CTMS) in Lapu-Lapu City, said that currently, he would still be waiting for the termination order against the two traffic enforcers.
The two traffic enforcers, whom Napule refused to identify, have been working at CTMS for more than a year already.
Based on the video that they received from the dashcam of the vehicle involved, the vehicle has almost figured in an accident against a motorcycle.
The two traffic enforcers were riding the motorcycle which cut the other lane and almost collided with the vehicle. The two traffic enforcers then stopped the vehicle and issued a citation ticket against the driver of the vehicle.
Napule said that based on the citation ticket, they had charged the driver with reckless driving.
(They were supposed to be the ones who were driving recklessly and not the other driver.)
He added that the two traffic enforcers were assigned in the border checkpoint of Barangay Pusok and Marina Mall. The two were about to go back to their office to log-out from work.
Currently, Napule said that while waiting for the termination order, he already confiscated the citation tickets of the traffic enforcers and assigned them to other areas.

The decision to do away with the practice of muzzling police officers' guns for the holiday season aims to prove that they are responsible, the country's top cop said on Monday.
“(There is no need for that anymore. It started with previous commanders who decided not to do it anymore and it was proven to be effective. Majority of our police officers now have self-restraint and are disciplined. It was also proven that even if your gun is taped and you want to use it, you will use it),” PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas told reporters in Camp Crame.
Sinas added that the practice of gun muzzling might hamper police response.
“There are times when you would respond to an incident and you just remembered that your gun is muzzled. You become hesitant and it hampers quick response. So I think this time, majority or all of the policemen were already informed and they have the proper training and discipline so we rely on them and we will not do gun taping anymore,” he added.
The PNP's gun muzzling tradition for the yearend revelry was first stopped in 2016, under then PNP chief and now Senator Ronald dela Rosa.
