On April 28, 2026, at about 4:30 PM in Ligao City, Albay, operatives of the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit 5 (RACU 5) arrested a 42-year-old man, alias "Erick," and his 38-year-old wife, alias "Linda," pursuant to a warrant of arrest.
The spouses are facing charges for violation of Article 315 (Swindling/Estafa) of the Revised Penal Code in relation to Section 6 of RA No. 10175 (Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012), with bail set at Php30,000.00 for each of them.
This operation supports the directive of Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), to ensure that anti-cybercrime laws are fully implemented and violators are promptly penalized.
PBGEN Wilson C. Asueta, Acting Director of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, commended the operatives for their continued dedication to tracking down and apprehending wanted persons. He also highlighted, "Let this arrest serve as a warning to online fraudsters that they will be tracked, caught, and prosecuted. The PNP ACG will not rest until justice is served and the digital space is safe for all."
