The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) reported on Monday the arrest of 218 individuals during a weeklong anti-criminality campaign conducted from Jan. 26 to 31, 2026.
QCPD acting director Col. Randy Glenn Silvio said the operations targeted illegal drugs, gambling, firearms, and wanted persons across the city.
Police data showed that 82 of those arrested were linked to illegal drugs after 50 operations that resulted in the seizure of about P656,000 worth of suspected narcotics.
Another 84 individuals were apprehended in manhunt operations, including 53 listed as most wanted persons and 31 other fugitives.
Authorities also arrested five suspects in separate operations against illegal possession of firearms, recovering five guns.
Anti-gambling operations led to the arrest of 47 individuals and the confiscation of nearly P18,000 in alleged bet money.
Silvio said all cases had been filed before the courts and the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office, adding that the campaign underscored the district’s continued push to maintain peace and order.
