SAN PEDRO CITY — A man facing illegal drug charges was rearrested on Sunday in Alfonso town in Cavite province, a year after he led a jailbreak in this city.
Supt. Giovannie Martinez, the city police chief, said Mark Joseph Varias, 27, was recaptured around 12:45 p.m. in Barangay (village) Kaytitinga 3.
Martinez said Varias went into hiding and transferred locations in Cavite province for a year.
Varias reportedly led a jailbreak on May 22 last year by cutting the steel bars of the police’s detention cell here. He and five detainees escaped.
