LEGAZPI CITY --- Police in Bicol arrested 104 wanted persons during a weeklong operation that ended Saturday, authorities reported Tuesday.

The Police Regional Office-5 (PRO-5) said those arrested from Jan. 19 to 25 included one regional-level, eight provincial-level, seven city-level, and nine municipal-level fugitives, along with 79 others.

Brig. Gen. Erosito Miranda, PRO-5 acting regional director, attributed the results to the Enhanced Managing Police Operations strategy.

“The successful arrest of these wanted persons reflects our strong commitment to public safety and justice,” Miranda said in a statement.

He said the unit remains committed to locating offenders and bringing them before the courts. (PNA)
