Crime prevention is a shared responsibility. This year’s National Crime Prevention Week (NCPW) calls on government agencies, law enforcement, communities, schools, and other stakeholders to work together—because safer communities begin with active participation, strong partnerships, and responsible civilian oversight.

🤝 Let us unite our efforts, strengthen collaboration, and empower communities to be partners in preventing crime and promoting peace and security.

Together, we can build safer, more resilient, and more empowered communities.

PNP CYBER PATROL LEADS TO ARREST, SEIZURE OF 400 REGISTERED SIM CARDS IN BULACAN

A proactive cyber patrol operation by the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG) led to the arrest of a 26-year-old man and the recovery of 400 registered Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards allegedly being offered for sale online in Obando, Bulacan.

The operation was conducted by the Bulacan Provincial Cyber Response Team on August 24, 2026, following the monitoring of online activities involving the sale of registered SIM cards and other accounts through social media platforms. The suspect, identified only as alias “Junel,” was arrested during an entrapment operation after allegedly offering registered SIM cards for sale online.

The recovered SIM cards will undergo appropriate examination and further investigation to determine their source, registration details, and possible links to other unlawful activities. The suspect is facing charges for alleged violation of Republic Act No. 11934, or the SIM Registration Act of 2022, in relation to Republic Act No. 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. He remains under police custody following inquest proceedings.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. emphasized that responsible use of digital platforms is an important part of keeping communities safe, particularly as more transactions and communications move online.

“Online spaces should not become a place where identities can simply be bought and sold. We will continue to watch for activities that put other people at risk, while making sure that every operation follows the law and respects the rights of those involved. Ang mahalaga, maingat ang ating mga hakbang at malinaw ang ating pananagutan,” Police General Nartatez said.

The operation reflects the PNP's continuing efforts to strengthen its capabilities against emerging forms of online-related offenses under the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, through timely monitoring, coordination, and lawful police action.

The PNP likewise calls on the public to be cautious when purchasing SIM cards or accounts online and to avoid transactions involving registered SIMs, e-wallet accounts, or personal information obtained through questionable means. The public is encouraged to report suspicious online activities through appropriate PNP channels.

Aligned with the call of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for a safer and more responsible digital environment, the PNP will continue strengthening its cyber capabilities and public cooperation as it advances the “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman.”
