THIS is the moment a wanted Brit was arrested while using an outdoor gym in Spain.
The Scotsman, 55, is accused of sexually assaulting two women after meeting them on a dating app.
Spain’s Guardia Civil said he fled the UK in 2022 after faking being abducted.
The Brit was traced to Nerja by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA), who received a tip off that he was hiding among the expat community in the Malaga town.
The force, often dubbed Britain’s FBI, contacted the Guardia Civil who launched an operation to track down the fugitive, who was known to love sports.
The Spanish force used this information to discover a Scotsman who was well integrated into the lcoal sports community and matched the description of the suspect – although he was using a different name.
They began surveillance on the Brit and sent back images to the UK authorities, who confirmed his identity.
It was then that Spanish cops dramatically arrested him as he was performing pull ups on free gym equipment on a beach in Nerja.
The target is described as ‘dangerous’ by Scotland Police and is accused of sexually assaulting two women he met through an app.
He never stood trial after fleeing the UK in 2022, when police found his car on the shore of a lake in Scotland.
However police later determined that he had not been abducted or taken but had rather fled the country to avoid justice.
He is being held in a Spanish prison before being extradited to the UK.
