LAW enforcement agencies intensified their manhunt operations as the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) successfully arrested 22 wanted persons during a single-day sweep conducted on October 23, 2026.
The swift anti-criminality push netted six Most Wanted Persons (MWPs) and 16 Other Wanted Persons (OWPs).
Among the notable apprehensions was a targeted operation by the La Loma Police Station (PS 1), led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Jose Luis Aguirre.
Operatives traveled to Pasay City, where they arrested the station’s No. 1 MWP—identified as alias “Ryne,” 32—at approximately 6:50 AM outside Shell Residences in Barangay 66.
The suspect was nabbed by virtue of an active warrant of arrest for violating Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, issued by the Quezon City RTC Branch 103.
Records indicated he had a previous arrest for a similar drug offense in January 2020.
In Novaliches, PS 4 under PLTCOL Rolando Baula captured its No. 3 MWP, alias “Net,” 35, at her residence in Barangay Gulod at around 5:50 PM.
She faces a pending warrant under RA 9165 issued by Quezon City RTC Branch 227, with past records involving drug charges and PD 1602 violations dating back to December 2022.
Meanwhile, Project 6 PS 15, headed by PLTCOL Jeraldson Rivera, served a warrant on its targeted MWP—alias “Van,” 29—at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) male dormitory in Cabuyao City Jail, Laguna, at 5:00 PM.
The accused, a resident of Sorsogon, faces carnapping charges under RA 10883 issued by RTC Branch 287 in Navotas City, with a recurring criminal history for vehicle theft spanning from 2020 to May 2026.
The courts that issued the respective warrants will be formally notified of the apprehensions, and all arrested individuals remain detained pending further judicial proceedings.
QCPD Acting District Director Police Brigadier General Christopher Olazo commended the operating units for their relentless efforts.
“Every arrest is a step toward ensuring that those who have pending cases face the proper legal process,” Olazo stated, reinforcing the district’s dedication to upholding the rule of law and keeping Quezon City safe.
