IN a decisive double blow against fugitives of justice, the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) successfully apprehended two high-value targets listed among its Top 10 Regional Most Wanted Persons during simultaneous operations on October 1, 2026.
In the first operation at approximately 11:00 AM, joint operatives of the Manila Police District swooped down on Parola Compound in Barangay 275, Binondo, Manila, and collared a 32-year-old male ranked as the region’s No. 3 Most Wanted Person.
He was nabbed by virtue of a warrant of arrest for Murder under Article 248 of the Revised Penal Code, issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 3 in Manila on May 6, 2026, with no bail recommended.
Simultaneously, operatives of the Quezon City Police District executed a precision operation in Barangay Old Balara, Quezon City, capturing a 39-year-old male listed as the Top 8 Regional Level, Top 2 District Level, and Top 3 Station Level Most Wanted Person under Police Station 9.
His arrest stems from a warrant for Qualified Rape under Article 266-A in relation to Article 266-B of the Revised Penal Code, issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 13 in Quezon City, likewise with no bail recommended.
Following standard operating procedures, both suspects underwent mandatory medical examinations before being secured in police custody for proper documentation and disposition.
Their respective warrants of arrest will be formally returned to their courts of origin for subsequent legal proceedings.
Reacting to the successful operations, NCRPO Officer-in-Charge PBGEN Christopher N. Abrahano commended the operating units and emphasized that the long arm of the law will eventually catch up with criminal fugitives.
“There is no safe ground for those who continue to evade lawful arrest. NCRPO units are working continuously to locate wanted persons and ensure that pending warrants are served,” PBGEN Abrahano stated.
The NCRPO reiterates its unwavering commitment to public safety and urges communities to continuously report the whereabouts of wanted individuals through local police hotlines.
