Nine of those apprehended are facing rape charges, while one is wanted for violation of anti-child pornography laws, highlighting the gravity of the offenses.
PRO3 Regional Director PBGen Jess B. Mendez said the swift accomplishment reflects intensified, intelligence-driven manhunt operations aligned with the directive of PNP Chief, Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr..
Mendez emphasized that the arrests were the result of sustained operational discipline, strong coordination among Provincial and City Police Offices, and unified intelligence efforts across Central Luzon.
He reaffirmed that the campaign against wanted persons, particularly those charged with grave offenses, remains a top priority to ensure public safety and protect vulnerable sectors.
PRO3 said it will continue strengthening warrant service operations through focused deployment, case monitoring, and enhanced inter-unit coordination under its banner of “Pulis Central Luzon,” delivering fast, honest, and responsive police service.
