CAMP ALEJO SANTOS — Bulacan Police Provincial Office (PPO) successfully apprehended Raymond Lorenzana y Orolfo, also known as “Emon,” a 39-year-old resident of Brgy. Pinaod, San Ildefonso, Bulacan, and the leader of the Lorenzana Criminal Gang.
In his statement, Col. Satur Ediong, Bulacan provincial director said that Lorenzana was arrested in Brgy. Maloma, San Felipe, Zambales.
“He has been linked to multiple criminal activities, including gun-for-hire, gun-running, robbery hold-ups, and illegal drug operations, primarily in Bulacan and neighboring provinces,” Ediong said.
He added, the operation was executed by the Tracker Team of the Provincial Intelligence Unit (PIU) of Bulacan PPO, in coordination with the San Felipe Municipal Police Station, PIU Zambales PPO, RID PRO3, and PIT Zambales RIU3.
Lorenzana was apprehended based on two separate warrants for murder, issued under Criminal Case No. 1341-M-2013 by RTC Branch 81, and Criminal Case No. 7473-M-2022 and RTC Branch 82, both from the City of Malolos, Bulacan. Both with no bail recommended.
Following his arrest, Lorenzana was taken to the San Felipe MPS for processing, and the appropriate documentation and return of the warrants will be completed in accordance with court procedures.
Ediong emphasized that the recent arrest of a criminal gang leader underscores the commitment to dismantling violent groups. This effort aligns with Brig. Gen.
