NCR’s NO. 4 MOST WANTED PERSON COLLARED IN QUEZON CITY OVER SEXUAL ASSAULT, STATUTORY R**E

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., arrested a high-value wanted person in Quezon City on September 1, 2026, strengthening efforts to locate individuals facing serious criminal charges and bring them before the proper judicial authorities.

Operatives of the Quezon City Police District–Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU), in coordination with the Quezon City District Intelligence and Tactical Unit (QCDIT) and Regional Intelligence Unit-NCR (RIU-NCR), apprehended a 31-year-old male in Barangay Kamuning, Quezon City. He was identified as the No. 4 Most Wanted Person at the regional level and No. 2 Most Wanted Person at the district level.

The arrest stemmed from intelligence information provided by QCDIT and RIU-NCR, which led police operatives to the suspect’s location. He was apprehended by virtue of a warrant of arrest for Sexual Assault under Article 266-A (2) of the Revised Penal Code and Statutory R**e under Article 266-A, Paragraph 1(D), as amended by Republic Acts Nos. 8353 and 11648. The Sexual Assault charge is bailable, while no bail was recommended for the Statutory R**e charge.

Following his arrest, the suspect was brought to the concerned police unit for documentation and proper processing. The warrant of arrest will be returned to the court of origin for appropriate action.

“Wanted persons facing serious criminal charges must be brought before the courts to answer for the allegations against them. We will sustain intelligence-driven efforts to locate and apprehend those sought by the law,” PGen Nartatez said.

“Mananatiling prayoridad natin ang pagprotekta sa mga bata at iba pang vulnerable na sektor laban sa pang-aabuso at karahasan. Sa bawat hakbang ng PNP, sisikapin nating mapanatiling ligtas ang mga higit na nangangailangan ng proteksyon,” he added.

The accomplishment also supports the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly Enhanced Managing Police Operations, by strengthening intelligence-driven efforts against wanted persons and ensuring that police operations translate into concrete results.

As the PNP strengthens its efforts to protect vulnerable sectors and uphold the rule of law under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”
