On December 14 and 15, 2015, Zamboanga del Sur
Police Provincial Office, under the leadership of PSSupt Michael Mendoza
Nicholas, conducted massive province-wide Lambat Sibat operations. Five sets of
“One Time-Big Time” totaling to 30 operations were simultaneously carried out in Pagadian City
and all other twenty six municipalities in a two-day duration.
The large-scale anti-criminality
operations dubbed as “Christmas Hulidays
and Happy Target Hardening” resulted to the arrest of 67 persons, of whom 2 are
most wanted and the confiscation of 23 firearms, of which 5 are high-powered, 2
hand grenades, 2 dynamites, 112 sachets of shabu, assorted ammunitions,
different kinds of illegal drugs paraphernalia, and 25,000.00 pesos proceeds of
illegal drug trade. The various law enforcement operations composed of the
execution of 28 Search Warrants, service of 14 Arrest Warrants for wanted and
most wanted persons, 7 buy-bust operations on illegal drugs and 2 checkpoints.
All forces bolted-in to Zamboanga del Sur
Provincial Police Office for the extensive operations. Almost 650 personnel
were utilized for the province-wide operations from Zambaonga del Sur Public
Safety Company, Provincial Anti-illegal Drugs Task Force, PDEA, CIDT, 2ndMC,
RPSB9, 53rd IB PA, and the 27 police stations of Zamboanga del Sur. Despite the number of operations, no one was injured on the side of the government troops while two suspects were killed when the raiding team retaliated after each of them fired their guns at raiding teams.
This all-out offensive on anti criminality
which started with an operational plan was conceived from the “Lambat-Sibat”
concept of the national headquarters to encase and seal a particular area and
catch the criminal elements through execution of search warrants, service of
arrest warrants ang other means of law enforcement operation. That’s the reason
for the fusion of all law enforcement agencies and support of the AFP.
Effective intelligence monitoring, case
build-up, close coordination among the operating units and the active
participation of the community lead to the success of the operations. The
Zamboanga del Sur Police Provincial Office encourages other members of the
community to contribute by providing information on criminal activities in your
area. Your safety is our utmost concern that’s why confidentiality is
paramount. Help us keep our province safe.
