Caloocan cops nab 92 for various offenses

Operatives of the Caloocan City Police arrested 92 people for various offenses during a Simultaneous Anti-Criminality Law Enforcement (SACLEO) operation in North Caloocan which started on Wednesday night.

Caloocan City Police chief Senior Superintendent Jemar Modequillo said the operation started at around 11 p.m. on Wednesday and ended at 2 a.m. on Thursday.

Among those arrested were 86 people who were caught drinking in the streets and minors who violated the city’s curfew law. Also nabbed were three alleged drug users, two persons with pending warrants of arrest for estafa and child abuse; and one person facing a robbery case, Radyo Inquirer 990 AM reported.

Police identified the arrested drug users as Mhel Yambao, John Salita, at Eduardo Serra.

Modequillo said the 86 minors who broke curfew and persons caught drinking in public were only asked to do push ups and squats as punishment after police determined that they were first-time offenders.

The other seven arrested were meanwhile detained at the Caloocan City Police headquarters. With Justinne Punsalang/Radyo Inquirer  /muf
