    The police arrested Nazareno without a warrant two weeks after a man was killed. During questioning, one of the suspects in the killing, Ramil Regala, implicated Nazareno as being one of his companions. The court held that the warrantless arrest was valid. For an arrest to be legal, it is sufficient that the arresting officer has reasonable grounds to believe a crime was committed and that the person arrested participated in it. The court found that arresting Nazareno two weeks after being implicated was still considered "just been committed" for a valid warrantless arrest.

    NAZARENO v. STATION COMMANDER

    Facts:
    In the early morning of Dec. 14, 1938, Bunye was killed by a group of men in Alabang. One of the suspects
    in the killing was Ramil Regala who was arrested by the police on Dec. 23, 1988 (2 weeks later). Upon questioning,
    Regala pointed to Nazareno as one of his companions in the killing. In view thereof, the police, without a warrant,
    picked up Nazareno and brought him to the police headquarters for custody.

    Issue: W/N the arrest was valid? When an offense has just been committed, what is “just been committed”? How
    soon was “just”?

    Held:
    Yes, it was a valid warrantless arrest. “Evidently, the arrest of Nazareno was effected by the police without
    warrant pursuant to Sec. 5 (b) Rule 113, after he was positively implicated by his co-accused Ramil Regala in the
    killing of Bunye and after investigation by the police authorities.
    As held in Pp. vs. Ancheta:
    The obligation of an agent of authority to make an arrest by reason of a crime does not presuppose as a
    necessary requisite for the fulfillment thereof, the indubitable existence of a rime. For the detention to be perfectly
    legal, it is sufficient that the agent or person in authority making the arrest has reasonably sufficient grounds to
    believe the existence of an act having the characteristics of a crime and that the same grounds exist to believe that
    the person sought to be detained participated therein.
