At the beginning of the year, we published an article on the top 12 most wanted UK criminals thought to be hiding in Spain. Shortly after, two were apprehended. However, we must not forget, there are still 10 out there!
On the first day after the campaign was launched
Just the day after Crimestoppers began the campaign, they announced 30-year-old Joshua Hendry was arrested in San Pedro, Marbella. Furthermore, it was an off-duty police officer that recognised him as a result of the campaign. The 30-year-old is an alleged drug trafficker, and is suspected of trafficking heroin and cocaine from Liverpool for distribution.
Two weeks later
A second fugitive was arrested around 2 weeks after the start of the campaign. However, he was arrested in the Netherlands, not in Spain where he was originally suspected to be living. James Stevenson (known as Jamie) was arrested while out jogging. The 56-year-old was from Rutherglen in Glasgow and was wanted by Police Scotland. He is suspected of two arson attacks on Scottish properties in Lanarkshire and Forth Valley during 2020. He was wanted by the National Crime Agency (NCA) after the seizure of roughly one tonne of cocaine and 28 million street Valium tablets (Etizolam). The shipment was found waiting to leave the port of Dover in June 2020.
