A 43-year-old marketing professional was taken into custody on Sunday evening by operatives of the Tambo Sub-station of the Parañaque City Police Station, as part of a targeted warrant operation. The individual, identified only by the alias Melecio and residing in Novaliches, Quezon City, was arrested at around 9 p.m. inside Okada Manila, located within the Entertainment City complex in Barangay Tambo.
Melecio is listed as one of the city's most wanted individuals, with a judicial warrant for estafa (swindling) issued by Judge Divina Gracia Lopez Peliño of Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 231. The warrant was executed on the strength of verified intelligence regarding Melecio's location.
The law enforcement operation resulted in Melecio being safely escorted to a custodial facility, where he remains detained pending the official return of the warrant to the court of origin for proper legal disposition. No bail has been recommended in connection with the arrest.
Background: The Tambo Sub-station is part of the Parañaque City Police Station's efforts to apprehend wanted individuals within its jurisdiction. Melecio was officially documented as the top seven station-level most-wanted person, according to law enforcement records.
