NCR MOST WANTED NABBED IN CAPIZ; PNP CRACKS DOWN ON CARNAPPING, MURDER CASES

The Philippine National Police (PNP), under the leadership of PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., scored a major accomplishment in its intensified campaign against wanted persons following the arrest of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Top 1 Regional Most Wanted Person during a joint intelligence-driven manhunt operation conducted by the Provincial Highway Patrol Team (PHPT) Capiz under the Regional Highway Patrol Unit 6 (RHPU 6) in Ivisan, Capiz, on June 1, 2026.

The arrested individual was likewise listed as the Top 1 Provincial Most Wanted Person, Top 1 Municipal Most Wanted Person, and Highway Patrol Group (HPG) Top 1 Most Wanted Person. Authorities successfully served warrants of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court, Branch 266, Taguig City, for alleged violation of Section 3 of Republic Act No. 10883, otherwise known as the Anti-Carnapping Act of 2016, and for Murder under Article 248 of the Revised Penal Code. Both warrants carried no recommended bail.

The successful operation underscores the sustained efforts of the PNP and its field units to locate and apprehend high-value fugitives facing serious criminal charges. Following the arrest, the suspect was brought to the PHPT Capiz Office for proper documentation and legal processing before being turned over to the issuing court.

“Hindi titigil ang PNP sa paghahanap sa mga taong umiiwas sa pananagutan. Ang bawat matagumpay na pag-aresto ay patunay na patuloy nating pinagtitibay ang pagpapatupad ng batas at ang karapatan ng mga biktima na makamit ang hustisya,” said PGEN Nartatez.

This accomplishment reflects the PNP Focused Agenda, a strategic direction for organizational transformation designed to make police service more responsive, accountable, and mission-driven. The operation particularly advances the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations through intelligence-based law enforcement actions and sustained efforts against high-value fugitives.

“No matter how long it takes or where they choose to hide, individuals wanted for serious crimes will remain subject to the full force of the law. The PNP will continue pursuing those who threaten public safety and undermine peace in our communities,” PGEN Nartatez emphasized.

The arrest demonstrates the continuing commitment of the Philippine National Police to support the administration of justice through focused manhunt operations and proactive law enforcement initiatives aimed at bringing wanted persons before the courts.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against wanted persons and other criminal elements under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it continues to assure the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong mabilis, tapat, at nararamdaman.”
