00:00 A US national who lives in the Philippines, enjoying his vacation in Cebu.
00:05 He is also involved in several cases of molestation and rape of minors.
00:10 Will he still enjoy his vacation?
00:13 Your time is up, boy.
00:15 Another wanted and fugitive who is not to be defeated in the cases he is involved in.
00:20 The suspect is known as John Thomas Minor.
00:24 According to the bench warrant from the Supreme Court in America,
00:27 Minor is a victim of rape of child in the first degree,
00:31 child molestation in the first degree,
00:34 rape of a child in the second degree,
00:36 and child molestation in the second degree.
00:39 His victims are all US nationals.
00:42 In John's case,
00:45 in his rape and molestation cases,
00:48 he was a minor.
00:51 So we can see that he did it very carelessly
00:55 because he was a minor.
00:58 Now he is here in the Philippines,
01:00 which really we see is a threat to the children here in the Philippines.
01:05 Minor has been hiding in the Philippines for several years.
01:08 But now, his vacation is coming to an end.
01:12 Because according to an informant of the Bureau of Immigration,
01:15 Fugitive Search Unit or BIFSU,
01:18 he should be in Cebu City.
01:20 We think that he is hiding his residence.
01:23 There might be a family here in the Philippines
01:25 or he is with his family here in the Philippines.
01:28 That's why he was seen in Cebu
01:30 where he is hiding for almost a year.
01:34 The authorities searched Cebu City
01:37 to find the whereabouts of the suspect,
01:40 John Thomas Minor,
01:42 and the condominium unit where the suspect lives.
01:47 This is where the authorities started the surveillance operation.
01:51 An asset allegedly delivered food
01:55 to confirm the hideout of the suspect.
01:57 Knock, knock.
01:58 Warrant of arrest.
01:59 This is a food delivery.
02:01 When the suspect's condo unit was confirmed,
02:05 the BIFSU immediately called.
02:07 BNP Cebu and other operatives
02:09 did an entrapment operation.
02:11 This was monitored when the Philippines entered the country
02:13 in December of 2022.
02:15 He did not leave and based on his transactions,
02:21 financial records,
02:23 he was here in Cebu.
02:25 Through a ruse last week of delivery,
02:28 we were able to get his address.
02:31 And because of the ruse,
02:35 the subject showed up
02:37 and received the delivery.
02:39 So, it was monitored
02:41 that his current address is there.
02:43 Just to give you an idea,
02:45 the lobby is quite spacious.
02:47 There are many areas where he can stay.
02:50 Although, there are also presence of guards.

02:55 There was no wasted time for the operatives.
02:57 An asset immediately entered the condo unit.
02:59 According to the Bureau of Immigration,
03:01 Fugitive Search Unit,
03:03 here in a condo in Cebu City,
03:07 an American national lives.
03:09 They are waiting for him now.
03:11 They are looking for him now.
03:13 This is related to rape and molestation
03:15 to a minor.
03:17 We've been here for almost an hour
03:19 to find out where we can catch our subject.
03:21 Our agents have given an update
03:23 that our subject is now identified.
03:27 These are the photos they gave.
03:29 It's been more than an hour.
03:31 Two agents entered the room.
03:33 They identified the suspect
03:35 and got the room
03:37 where the suspect is hiding.
03:39 They gave us a go signal
03:41 to catch our subject.
