LAW enforcement operatives arrested a female most wanted person facing an astounding 71 counts of Qualified Theft during a targeted warrant operation in Mandaluyong City on October 1, 2026.
The 49-year-old accounting professional was apprehended at approximately 8:00 PM along P. Burgos Street in Barangay Poblacion.
The high-profile arrest was executed by joint elements of the Mandaluyong City Police Station Warrant and Subpoena Section.
The arrest was carried out by virtue of a warrant issued on September 30, 2026, by Hon. Jonathan Honorato D. Lock, Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court Branch 61 in Makati City.
The court set a total bail of ₱2,440,000.00 for her temporary liberty.
Following standard protocol, the arresting team apprised the suspect of her constitutional rights and documented the operation using alternative recording devices.
After undergoing a mandatory medical examination at the Mandaluyong City Medical Center, she was processed at the Mandaluyong City Police Station and is currently detained at its Custodial Facility pending the formal return of the warrant to the originating court.
Weighing in on the successful operation, NCRPO Officer-in-Charge PBGEN Christopher N. Abrahano emphasized that the command’s security and anti-criminality nets are tightening across the region.
“Those with pending warrants cannot evade the law indefinitely. Our units will continue tracking them down and bringing them before the proper courts to face the charges against them,” PBGEN Abrahano stated.
The NCRPO remains steadfast in its commitment to rid Metro Manila of wanted elements, ensuring that justice is served swiftly and accountably for every community.
