KALIBO, Aklan – The Aklan Police Provincial Office (APPO) said the peace and order situation in the province remains to be manageable.
Last year, the APPO neutralized 135 wanted persons, of which 115 were arrested and 20 surrendered. Four most wanted persons facing murder, rape and frustrated murder charges were also apprehended by the local police.
Senior Superintendent Epifanio Bragais, Jr. said the APPO registered a total crime volume of 2,508 incidents last year, 45.80 percent were index crimes and 54.20 percent or 1,359 were non-index crimes.
“The most prevalent crimes recorded for the period were physical injuries and theft, which most cases usually happened in the town of Kalibo and in Boracay Island,” he said.
Seven syndicated crime groups and gangs were also neutralized by the local police involved in illegal drugs (Moreno Gang), robbery bond (Delos Reyes Group), robbery and theft (Mabulay Gang), robbery hold-up (Asuncion Gang), pick pocketing, snatching, bag slashing/hold-up (Lopez and Ababao Gang) and carnapping of motorcycles (Ravera Group).
APPO also monitored sightings of communist movement members in the far-flung barangays of Madalag, Malinao, Makato, Tangalan, Ibajay and Nabas.
Despite the presence of two active guerilla fronts of Komiteng Rehiyong-Panay in the province, there were no significant incident between the local police and the insurgents last year.
Bragais said the support of Philippine Army 12th Infantry Battalion and the intelligence community ensure public safety and internal security of the province and the island of Boracay.
To strengthen the crime prevention, the APPO has established Barangay Peacekeeping Action Teams (BPATs) for police visibility and beat patrols, he added.
In the illegal drugs campaign, the APPO arrested 29 drug pushers and users while 25 cases of illegal possession of firearms were filed in court against the suspects for the 67 loose firearms.
A total of 28 fishing boats were also confiscated and arrested 152 fishermen and crew for violation of municipal ordinances on illegal fishing while 10 persons were arrested for illegal logging and confiscated 12,209.40 board feet of assorted lumber worth P254,736.00 and 230 sacks of charcoal.
APPO also apprehended 27 persons for illegal gambling and 61 cases on child abuse were filed in court involving 52 abused minors.
Police said no incidents of bank robbery, cattle rustling and kidnap-for-ransom were recorded last year.
