The suspect was taken into custody around 11 a.m. in Barangay Real during a joint operation conducted by the San Jose Municipal Police Station and other law enforcement units, according to authorities.
The apprehension marks a significant development in regional police efforts to neutralize key criminal elements across Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan—collectively known as Mimaropa. The suspect had managed to evade authorities for an extended period prior to Saturday's operation.
Details regarding the charges against the fugitive and the circumstances leading to the arrest remain under police review. Further information is expected to be released following the completion of preliminary documentation and case disposition procedures.
