Davao City police say all top 10 most wanted persons arrested in October
The Davao City Police Office reports a 100 percent accomplishment rate in its October campaign against the city's most wanted fugitives.
The Davao City Police Office (DCPO) said it arrested every person on the city's Top 10 most wanted list in October 2026, giving its campaign against most wanted persons a 100 percent accomplishment rate for the month, according to Mindanao Times.
City police director PCOL Peter B. Madria said the arrests came from a series of intelligence-driven manhunt operations that DCPO personnel carried out throughout the month.
The people arrested were wanted for serious offences including murder, rape, robbery, carnapping, acts of lasciviousness and arson, police said. The report did not name the suspects or give details of individual arrests.
In a statement, Madria said the result showed "there is no haven for criminals in Davao City." He credited police personnel and what he described as strong community cooperation for the arrests.
The DCPO said it will keep up operations against all forms of crime with the same intensity to maintain peace and order across the city.
