A person under custody of the Tudela Municipal Police who bolted in the morning of April 2, 2024 in Danao City, Cebu was captured.

The 41-year-old suspect  from Camotes Island was escorted by policemen to attend a court hearing at the Regional Trial Court 7, Branch 25 in Danao City for his case on illegal possession and sale of illegal drugs.

As they arrived early in Barangay Poblacion, Danao City, the policemen decided they would first take breakfast.

As they were about to go back to the vehicle after taking their meals, the suspect reportedly asked permission to get a toothpick. But he ran away instead. Police went after him. The suspect dashed reportedly into a narrow alley as the policemen lost track of him momentarily.

Tudela Police conducted a hot-pursuit operation and coordinated with the suspect's live-in partner to trace his whereabouts. The suspect was captured.
