BOAC, Marinduque — Police arrested three men identified as Marinduque’s highest-ranked provincial most wanted persons in separate operations spanning just over seven hours from 31 October to 1 November.
Police Regional Office MIMAROPA said the three farmers were arrested under warrants dated 30 October issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 94 in Boac in connection with the same murder case, Criminal Case No. 257-26. No bail was recommended.
The first arrest took place at around 6:20 p.m. on 31 October, when operatives apprehended a 39-year-old resident of Barangay Tumagabok, Boac, listed as the province’s second most wanted person.
At around 6:45 p.m., police arrested a 30-year-old farmer from Sitio Centro in the same barangay, identified as the third most wanted.
The operation continued until around 1:30 a.m. on 1 November, when officers arrested a 50-year-old Tumagabok resident temporarily staying in Barangay Tanza, Boac. He was listed as the province’s most wanted person.
All three were placed in the custody of the Boac Municipal Police Station for documentation and proper disposition.
Boac police led the operations in coordination with provincial and regional intelligence units and the Marinduque Maritime Police Station, under the supervision of the Marinduque Police Provincial Office.
MIMAROPA police director Brig. Gen. Christopher R. Dela Cruz commended the operating units, citing intelligence gathering and coordination in implementing the court-issued warrants.
