1 killed, 2 arrested in police crackdown in Northern Mindanao
CAMP ALAGAR, Cagayan De Oro City, May 25 (PNA) – An alleged fugitive was killed while two others were arrested during a police crackdown on wanted persons in Northern Mindanao, a police officer said Wednesday.
Pol. Supt. Surki Sereñas, spokesman of the regional police command here, said that Nico Lagones, the most wanted person in Baliangao, Misamis Occidental, was killed in a shootout with the local police there.
He said that Lagones opted to shoot it out with the police operatives who were about to serve a warrant of arrest for the crime of murder, which identified Lagones as the suspect.
Two other most wanted persons for the crime of illegal drugs and robberies were also collared in a separate operation in Northern Mindanao this week, Sereñas said.
Sereñas identified the two suspects, both with pending warrants of arrest, as Michael Florida and Dario Maghanoy.
Florida is Cebu’s number one most wanted who has a string of arrest warrants in a series of robberies in Cebu, Dumaguete, Bohol and Ozamiz City.
He said that Maghanoy was Tangub City, Misamis Occidental’s top drug personality and an alleged ringleader of an illegal drug syndicate who have been on the list of wanted persons for a long time. (PNA)
