A wanted runaway who fled to the “Costa del Crime” was arrested by police as he tried to return to the UK.

Jody Flynn, from Merseyside, was on the run for more than twelve months before being captured as he tried to enter the port of Dover.

Crimestoppers called the 28-year-old “one of the most wanted individuals from the latest Operation Captura appeals”. He was wanted by Merseyside Police in connection with a grievous bodily harm offence.

His arrest means that half of the last batch of Operation Captura appeals in Malaga, Spain, have been brought back to face the courts in Britain.

David Armond, International Director for the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), said: “The continuing success of Operation Captura demonstrates how cooperation between the public and law enforcement can make life uncomfortable for criminals living overseas.”
