The arrest order was only for the bungling of the prosecution committed by the law enforcers in theP6.7B shabu case.
The court has yet to issue a separate arrest warrant for a case of planting evidence, which is a non-bailable offense.
The same 29 policemen are also charged with planting evidence.
One of the accused, Police Master Sergeant Rodolfo Mayo, is already under police custody.
