Three Notorious Figures Busted in Pangasinan's Most Wanted List

The Philippine Police Crack Down on Notorious Figures in Pangasinan

Who did what, where, when, and why it matters? Two construction workers, aged 34 and 23, were arrested in Binmaley town, Pangasinan, Philippines, accused of raping a 14-year-old close family member on three separate occasions. The suspects were apprehended by virtue of warrants of arrest issued by the Regional Trial Court Branch 68 in Lingayen, Pangasinan.

The 34-year-old suspect has a history of crime; he has two prior convictions for theft, which may have contributed to his current status as one of Pangasinan's most wanted. These previous charges are a concern, as they suggest a pattern of behavior that could have led to this serious offense.
