TWO of the most wanted men in Bulacan and Nueva Ecija on Monday were arrested by operatives of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Regional Field Unit 3 in separate manhunt operations conducted under Oplan Pagtugis.
CIDG RFU3 chief Col. Grant Gollod said the first operation was carried out in UC2, Area G, Bgy. Citrus, Sapang Palay, City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, resulting in the arrest of alias “Ran,” 38, a driver and a resident of the same village.
Members of the CIDG Bulacan Provincial Field Unit, together with the San Jose del Monte City Police Station, arrested the suspect who is tagged as the No. 10 Most Wanted Person of the Bulacan Police Provincial Office.
“Ran” was nabbed by virtue of a warrant of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 102, Malolos City, Bulacan, for qualified theft.
In a separate operation, CIDG Nueva Ecija Provincial Field Unit, in coordination with the Cabanatuan City Police Station, CIDG Quezon City District Field Unit, and Fairview Police Station 5, arrested the No. 3 Most Wanted Person of the Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office.
The suspect, identified only by the alias “Mario,” 47, a resident of Univille Subdivision, Bgy. Bangad, Cabanatuan City, was tracked down at 126 Jose Abad Santos St., Bgy. Sta. Lucia, Novaliches, Quezon City.
Police said the arrest stemmed from two warrants of arrest issued by the Family Court, Branch 8, Cabanatuan City, for statutory rape and sexual assault charges.
Gollod said the successful operations demonstrate the CIDG’s continued commitment to tracking down wanted persons and ensuring that those who committed crimewould be held liable.
