Four “most wanted” persons were arrested by authorities in separate manhunt operations conducted in Central Luzon earlier this month.
The director of Central Luzon police, Brig. Gen. Cesar Pasiwen, reported that the four had standing warrants for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and rape.
“The entire Central Luzon police force, together with other police units, continues its intensified campaign to put lawless elements and wanted persons behind bars and maximizes its efforts to eradicate all forms of lawlessness in the region,” Pasiwen said in a statement.
