The Director General of Police, Ignacio Cosidó reported yesterday via his Twitter account that the police arrested Shane Walford, one of ten fugitives wanted by the United Kingdom. Sources consulted by this newspaper confirmed the arrest of this man pursued by British justice took place last Saturday in Fuerteventura.
Shane Walford, 38, was wanted by West Midlands police for murder. Walford is a former soldier and boxer Coventry and was sentenced by Stafford Crown Court on 5 July 2010 to 54 months-four years and six months in prison for murder. The man killed in a bar in Coventry was a firefighter and father of two children. On January 27, 2012 he was paroled but did not attend appointments with probation. Thus, disappeared in August 2013, when he fled after ordered his recall to prison. He has several tattoos, including a black panther on his left arm and some boxing gloves in the abdomen.
The British intelligence after losing track in England, placed the fugitive in Spain. Therefore, the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the UK included it in this police operation, a campaign that launches each year with the support of the Ministry of Interior, the National Police and Civil Guard, and Crimestoppers organization .
"Where do they live? What car do you have? Where do they buy? Are they members of your gym? We appeal to anonymously you tell us where these men are," said Tuesday a senior British police, who asked the British and the Spanish public, to provide them with any clue that might help find the ten fugitives. "If you know any of these men [Ten Fugitive] ye wear contact us by calling 900 555 111," the police officer.

How did the police manage to find him,i know for a fact they let a wanted person back on the island ,he has a warrant for his arrest on 3 accounts,all he did was give a false name of his parents when pulled over at the airport ??? ???
Apparently he was arrested at the airport trying to board a flight to Ireland. Didn't say where he had been staying on the island.
