A top priority American fugitive has been arrested in Carcar, Cebu.An exclusive report by John Consulta in Balitanghali on Saturday said that Peter Allan Towle was cornered by joint operatives of the Bureau of Immigration and Federal Bureau of Investigation inside his apartment in Carcar.
The report said Towle initially resisted arrest and refused to board the operatives' vehicle, but eventually went with the police.
The American refused to give comments to the media.
According to the report, Towle was a convicted sex offender in California whose victims were minors.
He went into hiding in the Philippines in 2014, and has successfully avoided law enforcement groups since then.
"Since 2014, Peter Allan Towle arrived in the Philippines and he's going from one province to the other. Finally when we were able to locate him just recently, we were able to arrest him," said Associate Commissioner Atty. Jose Carlitos Licas.
The US Embassy canceled Towle's American passport after identifying him as a top fugitive.
Licas said that Towle will be blacklisted from the Philippines.
"We will immediately deport him back to the states and his name will be included in the blacklist so that he will not be able to enbter again in the Philippines," he said. —Jessica Bartolome/ALG, GMA News
