The operation resulted in the capture of one suspect listed as a top-most wanted person at the station level, two most wanted persons, and five others.

In Malabon City, operatives from the Warrant and Subpoena Section arrested a 24-year-old man in Barangay Catmon around 4 p.m. The suspect, ranked as the No. 6 most wanted person at his station, was apprehended on five counts of acts of lasciviousness. A judge has recommended bail at P900,000.

Wanted for carnapping, she was taken into custody with a recommended bail of P200,000. Police said she underwent a medical examination before being processed for detention.
