Law enforcement authorities scored significant victories in Pampanga as they apprehended nine individuals, including Central Luzon's most wanted person, during coordinated police operations across multiple municipalities.
Top Criminal Captured in Las Piñas City
The Arayat police successfully arrested Central Luzon's Rank 1 Most Wanted Person in Barangay Talon Uno, Las Piñas City. The suspect, who had been evading authorities, faced three separate arrest warrants for murder cases and was considered a priority target at both provincial and municipal levels.
Multiple Operations Yield Results
In Barangay Plazang Luma, Arayat, police served an arrest warrant against a theft suspect. Simultaneously, coordinated efforts between the Lubao police and the 302nd Maneuver Company of Regional Mobile Force Battalion 3 led to the apprehension of two individuals wanted for acts of lasciviousness and theft in Barangays Remedios and San Antonio respectively.
A particularly notable arrest involved a 49-year-old man in Barangay San Rafael, Macabebe, who had been wanted for 17 years for violation of Batas Pambansa Blg. 22. This operation was conducted jointly by the Macabebe police and the 1st Provincial Mobile Force Company.
Drug and Weapon Seizures
Pampanga 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company officers made a significant arrest in Barangay Tabun, Mabalacat City, after flagging down a 50-year-old man for not wearing a helmet. The routine traffic stop turned serious when officers discovered the suspect in possession of a firearm and two grams of shabu.
In Sto. Tomas, two individuals were arrested in Barangay San Vicente for illegal drug activities. Police confiscated three grams of shabu worth P20,400 from the suspects. Another drug-related arrest occurred in Barangay Bancal, Guagua, where police responding to an alarm and scandal incident recovered 0.8 grams of suspected shabu worth P5,440 and a bladed weapon.
The series of operations demonstrates the continued vigilance of Pampanga law enforcement in combating criminal activities across the province, resulting in the removal of dangerous individuals from communities and significant drug seizures.
