A MAN listed as no. 4 most wanted person in the province of Cavite was arrested in Nueva Ecija.

The suspect, a 33-year-old electrician and a resident of Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, was arrested by a tracker team of the Peñaranda Municipal Police. 

According to Nueva Ecija Police Provincial Office director Col. Ritchie Claravall, the operation was led by Capt. Silvestre Colanza, officer-in-charge of the Peñaranda MPS, and was carried out in coordination with the Naic MPS of the Cavite Police Provincial Office under Police Regional Office 4A, and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Northern Leyte Provincial Field Unit.

The suspect was arrested by virtue of a warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 15 in Naic, Cavite for violation of Republic Act 10883 or the New Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016.

No bail was recommended.

The arrested suspect was brought to Peñaranda MPS for documentation and proper disposition.

Claravall said the NEPPO would continue to intensify its manhunt operations to ensure that wanted individuals are brought before the courts.

The operation supports the Own the Project approach of Central Luzon police director Brig. Gen. Jess B. Mendez, which promotes accountability, inter-unit coordination and sustained efforts to apprehend wanted person.

It also aligns with the PNP Focused Agenda of PNP chief Gen. Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., which emphasizes effective law enforcement, operational efficiency and community protection.

Mendez said the successful operation underscored the importance of police coordination across regional boundaries
