Officers have arrested Bournemouth man Matthew Attenborough following a public appeal.
The 41-year-old was wanted in connection with a spate of fraud by false representation offences and had been actively evading arrest.
A number of forces across the country had been working together in a bid to locate Matthew Attenborough, who also goes by the name Rauiri O'Chonghaile. And now officers from Northumbria Police have confirmed that he has been arrested.
