A 49-year-old beautician facing estafa charges was nabbed at the International Departure Area of the NAIA Terminal 3 during a joint operation by personnel from the PNP-AVSEGROUP, along with officers from the Villamor Sub-Station 9.
PBGen Christopher N Abrahano, Director of the PNP AVSEGROUP, commended the effective and coordinated law enforcement efforts demonstrated by the authorities.
“We, at the PNP AVSEGROUP, condemn all forms of criminality. We will remain vigilant and strictly adhere to legal protocols to eliminate lawless conduct and ensure a just and secure nation,” he said.
The operation, it was learned, was pursuant to a warrant of arrest issued against the said woman, who is a resident of Oriental Mindoro and then scheduled to depart on a flight bound for Guangzhou, China.
During the process of verification at the Bureau of Immigration, it was discovered that the accused had a pending warrant of arrest for violating Article 315 of the Revised Penal Code (Estafa) with a recommended bail set at P40,000.00.

Upon apprehension, the accused was advised of the nature of the charges following the recitation of her constitutional rights. The arrest was documented using an Alternative Recording Device (ARD) as mandated by the Supreme Court.
