CAMP RUPERTO KANGLEON, Palo, Leyte  –  PNP PRO 8 scored anew in the accounting of wanted persons and the service of warrants by arresting the no. 1 Most Wanted Person of Southern, Leyte.

At about 6:00 PM on May 2, 2012 at Barangay Tinago, Inopacan, Leyte, joint elements of RID PRO 8 led by PSInsp Jovy Espinedo, SLPPO Deputy Intel Officer PSInsp Delfin D Tan and PSInsp Allan Oliveron Cerro, chief of police of Inopacan Police Station, MIG 8 and S2 19IB, PA led by 1Lt Lago conducted manhunt operations which resulted to the arrest of Southern Leyte’s no. 1 most wanted person (Provincial Level).

Subject person was identified as Jaime Doria Soledad alias “Ka Mike/Tony/Cyril/Anton/Glenn”, 63 years old, married, jobless and temporarily residing at said place. He is dubbed as Communist Terrorist leader and an active personality of the dismantled South Leyte Front (SLF).

Soledad was arrested by virtue of Warrant of Arrest issued by Honorable Judge Apolinario Buaya, Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 35, 8th Judicial Region Ormoc City for the crime of Double Murder docketed under Criminal case number 6955-0 and 6956-0 with no bail recommended. Immediately, he was brought to Inopacan Police Station for documentation and further brought by RID8 to Ormoc City Police Station Precinct 1 for proper disposition.

PDG, Nicanor A Bartolome, Chief PNP believes that one criminal off the street accords citizens with a sound sleep directing all Police Regional Offices to conduct an obstinate, efficient campaign and advocacy by implementing a wide-ranging pro-active approach/strategy on the campaign against Wanted Persons in coordination with various law enforcement and other concerned government agencies.
