Cops arrest wanted man in Aguilar town

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan — The Special Operations Group of the Police Provincial Office has intensified its campaign against most wanted persons and other criminals this Christmas season.

SOG operatives are now looking for long-wanted criminals and fugitives who may be sighted going home to their families or visiting their loved ones and friends this Yuletide season.

One such fugitive was Cesar P. Banaag, married, and a resident of Poblacion in Aguilar town, who was arrested by an SOG team led by Supt. Wilson Joseph when the suspect visited his family.

Banaag was wanted for alleged involvement in illegal drug trafficking, gun-running and gun-for-hire activities, said Joseph.
