Sixteen (16) Wanted and Most Wanted Persons in Laguna arrested under Project Janitor Fish during UNDAS 2017



Sta Cruz, Laguna - Sixteen (16) wanted and most wanted persons were arrested by the police of Laguna in its intensified implementation of Manhunt Charlie and Project Janitor Fish during the height of Undas 2017.

These six (6) most wanted persons in the city and municipal level were rank number two (2) in the City of Cabuyao with case of murder, rank number five (5) in Luisiana with case of statutory rape, rank number seven(7) in Siniloan with case of Frustrated murder, rank number eight (8) in Sta Maria with the case of violation of Section 12 of Article II of RA 9165, rank number nine (9) in San Pedro City with the case of violation of RA 6539 (Carnapping), and rank number ten (10) in Los Banos with the case of rape, all in the province of Laguna.

On the other hand, the ten other wanted persons were arrested for virtue of warrants of arrest for cases of frustrated homicide, qualified theft, theft, violation of RA 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act), PD 1602 (Illegal Gambling), RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004), reckless imprudence resulting to damage to property, and other deceits.

Laguna PPO Provincial Director PSSUPT Cecilio R Ison Jr. said "During Undas, many Filipinos remember their departed loved ones by paying a visit to the cemetery but for Laguna Police, it is a no holiday-none-operation."

"Taking advantage of the seasons to capture fugitive with warrant of arrest who will be visiting their family and mingling the crowd to evade arrest" he added.

PSSUPT Ison also said that the implementation of Project Janitor Fish during the observance of All Souls and All Saints Day (Undas 2017) focuses on the arrest of wanted criminals who are long before hiding and will take advantage of visiting their relatives, to give justice to the victims and the victim's family by bringing the suspects before the court, to show that no one is above the law by effecting their arrest, to focus the police operation on targeting wanted persons since the cessation of Project Double Barrel.

PSINS Gerry L Sangalang said, "The successful arrest of the five hundred ninety-seven (597) wanted and most wanted persons since its launching were a result of our intensified campaign against wanted persons through the relentless conduct of manhunt operations by virtue of Warrants of Arrest with the relentless effort of our personnel from the Provincial Office, City and Municipal Police Stations, and other operating units in the continuous implementation of Project Janitor Fish."

 The  primary concern of the PNP on November 1 and 2, 2017 (UNDAS 2017) is the provision of safety and security of the public in all cemeteries, and the Chief of the Provincial Intelligence Branch PSUPT Vicente S Cabatingan took this opportunity to lead the police to track down wanted persons in different cemeteries where these were expected to visit their departed love ones.

 “We will continue to implement this project to cleanse our Province from wanted persons, especially most wanted persons. We also encourage the community to continue to assist us for the success of our project and the families of wanted persons who are not yet arrested to surrender them to us or to the nearest police station where they may be." PD ISON said.
