NCRPO’s agents capture La Union’s most wanted man
NATIONAL Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) director, Major General Vicente D. Danao Jr. on Monday announced the arrest of one of La Union province’s most wanted persons who was found to be hiding in Metro Manila over the past seven years.
The official identified the suspect as Rizalino Crisostomo Jr., a taxi driver who turned out to be the subject of a warrant of arrest for frustrated murder issued by Judge Manuel Aquino of the Balaoan, La Union Regional Trial Court Branch 34 on March 13, 2014.
Maj. Gen. Danao said that around 11 a.m. Thursday, members of the NCRPO Regional Intelligence Division-Regional Special Operations Group under Lieutenant Colonel Melvin R. Montante tracked down the elusive suspect in his rented house at no. 24 Llano Street in Barangay Sangandaan in Project 8, Quezon City.
The NCRPO-RSOG team headed by Major Arnel Bautista were assisted by agents from the Q.C. Police District Station 3, the Luna Municipal Police Station and the PNP Criminal Investigation and Detection Group in arresting the suspect who has been tagged as the 3rd most wanted person in Luna municipality.
A P200,000 bail was recommended by the court for the temporary liberty of the accused.
Danao said that the arrest of the suspect is another example that NCRPO tracker teams are not giving wanted persons in Metro Manila any good time to sleep amid the pandemic.
“ Our operatives will not cease to arrest these people wanted by the law. This also serves as a warning to all those with standing warrants of arrest that no matter how long the warrant of arrest has been issued or wherever you may be, you cannot hide from the long arms of the law,” the NCRPO chief said.
