Joint operatives of the Police Anti-Crime and Emergency Response (PACER) and the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) arrested last Monday in Quezon City a suspected kidnapper with a P300,000-bounty on his head.
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Dir. Gen. Avelino Razon, Jr. presented the arrested suspect, identified as Rolando Pardito, 25, in a news conference Friday at Camp Crame, Quezon City.
Razon said Pardito was arrested by virtue of an arrest warrant issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 8 of Lucena City in Quezon for kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
Razon said Pardito was involved in the abduction of a wealthy Filipino-Chinese businesswoman and her driver in Laguna in August 2003. The suspect, aided by his father and brother, held their victims for two days and released them after the payment of an undisclosed amount.
Razon said Pardito is the 30th Most Wanted Person for Kidnapping-for-Ransom (KFR) arrested this year.
Razon disclosed that father and brother have since been accounted for but the former died while in jail, and the latter died in an operation to arrest him.
Sr. Supt. Edgar Iglesia, deputy chief of the PACER, said authorities continue to run after the remnants of 12 KFR groups that have since been neutralized, according to them, starting 2002./DMS
