OPERATIVES from the Southern Police District (SPD) successfully apprehended two individuals listed among their respective local stations’ Most Wanted Persons during separate operations conducted in Makati City and Las Piñas City on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
In Makati City, joint personnel from the Makati City Police Station—including the Warrant and Subpoena Section, Investigation and Detection Management Section, and Women and Children Protection Desk—arrested a 54-year-old tailor identified by the alias “Lino.”
Recognized as the station’s Top 2 Most Wanted Person for October 2026, Lino was cornered at his residence along Zapote Street in Barangay Sta. Cruz at around 5:20 P.M.
His arrest was executed by virtue of warrants issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 136 in Makati City for alleged acts of lasciviousness and sexual assault under the Revised Penal Code.
The court set bail at ₱108,000 for each count across five criminal cases, alongside ₱200,000 for three additional criminal charges.
Meanwhile, in Las Piñas City, a joint team comprising the Warrant and Subpoena Section, Station Intelligence Section, and Daang Hari Sub-Station nabbed a 33-year-old unemployed resident known by the alias “Donald.”
Listed as the station’s Top 6 Most Wanted Person for October 2026, Donald was apprehended at approximately 9:30 A.M. in Barangay Almanza 2.
He was captured by virtue of warrants issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 116 in Pasay City for violations of Republic Act No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012), which carry no recommended bail.
Both operations were conducted in strict compliance with standard law enforcement procedures, utilizing alternative recording devices to ensure transparency.
The suspects were properly informed of their constitutional rights in languages they understood.
Lino’s warrant will be formally returned to the issuing court, while Donald remains detained at the Las Piñas City Police Station custodial facility awaiting a formal commitment order.
