This year one of the UK’s most wanted fugitives was arrested in Spain according to the National Crime Agency.
Dean Garforth, whose last known address was South Hill Road, Dingle, Liverpool, was arrested in October in Nueva Andalucia, Marbella during a pre-planned law enforcement operation. The 29-year-old was riding an e-bike when he realised plain-clothed officers were closing in on him.
He was said to have ridden the bike into an officer and reportedly resisted arrest but is now in custody awaiting extradition proceedings. The NCA said Garforth is wanted by Cheshire Police for alleged involvement in an organised crime group, supplying cocaine and cannabis and being involved in trading firearms between March 2020 and July 2020.
