These individuals were arrested during operations conducted from October 31 to November 6, 2022, said Police Colonel Peter Tagtag Jr., regional chief of CIDG-7.

According to Tagtag, the victims were minors and relatives of these accused. CDN Digital is withholding the names of the accused to protect the victims.
