0:00:02 > 0:00:05- EXPLOSION - Come on!- On the run... - Get back here!- ..and over here.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hands out now. Hands out!
0:00:09 > 0:00:14When foreign criminals flee their home countries, many hide out in the UK.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- Give me your hands.- But if they think they're safe, they're wrong.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19They know they're wanted.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22A lot of these people are waiting for that knock on the door.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26But the traffic in fugitives isn't all one way.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Across Europe, there are hundreds of British criminals
0:00:30 > 0:00:33also trying to escape justice.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37From the sun-drenched costas, where the villains seek a life of luxury...
0:00:38 > 0:00:41..to the busy streets of the Dutch capital
0:00:41 > 0:00:44where many continue their life of crime,
0:00:44 > 0:00:48we join the crack teams hunting them down.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51When you take the risk to come to Amsterdam as a criminal
0:00:51 > 0:00:53there's a high chance that we get you.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57When it comes to justice, borders are no barrier.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00You're under arrest under the Extradition Act 2003.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04This is how the police take down the fugitives...
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Police officer!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07..both at home and abroad.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11If you're thinking of running, don't.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13We will find you.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16We will bring you back.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25On today's programme...
0:01:26 > 0:01:29..Dutch police hunt British criminals
0:01:29 > 0:01:31who think they've got away with it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The message is don't come over here
0:01:33 > 0:01:35because you're not safe here as well.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39In Leeds, there's no place to hide for a large-scale drug dealer
0:01:39 > 0:01:41who should be in a Polish prison.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44She brought that about, not West Yorkshire Police.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46She brought that about.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Hi, it's police. Could you let us in?
0:01:49 > 0:01:50And in Hereford,
0:01:50 > 0:01:56a major operation to find the men and women living life on the run.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58We're going to take them away from their family,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00we're going to send them back to a place where they've left
0:02:00 > 0:02:02that they don't want to be.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Across Europe, fugitives are on the run.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12For many Brits the destination is Amsterdam.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18The city's easy to access and English is widely spoken.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22For Dutch police, the manhunt never stops.
0:02:23 > 0:02:28In February 2011, a Dutch SWAT team were preparing to raid a house
0:02:28 > 0:02:32in the village of Kortenhoef, just outside the capital,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35where a British fugitive was hiding out.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38We got the information that he was here in the neighbourhood,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42that he was very violent, and maybe armed.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45EXPLOSION, GLASS SHATTERS
0:02:50 > 0:02:53The wanted man was Sean Devalda.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Detective Chief Inspector Aaron Duggan from Greater Manchester Police
0:02:57 > 0:03:01had been hunting for him since 2007.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Back then the detectives were tracking a gang of armed robbers
0:03:04 > 0:03:08from Salford, planning to hijack a cash delivery van.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12They would steal motor vehicles from people's houses during burglaries.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15The cars are then put on false plates and are used
0:03:15 > 0:03:17in the commission of armed robberies.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21We were behind this team and we were aware of what they were up to.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Sean Devalda formed part of this armed robbery team
0:03:24 > 0:03:26with three others.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33In early 2007, surveillance officers were watching as members of the gang
0:03:33 > 0:03:36driving cars they'd stolen met up in a lay-by.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41What we observed during the course of the investigation was the stolen
0:03:41 > 0:03:44vehicles being parked up here on false plates
0:03:44 > 0:03:46doing dry runs down into Salford
0:03:46 > 0:03:48where the cash depot is and what we actually observed
0:03:48 > 0:03:52was one of the stolen vehicles from here actually drive,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55peel off behind a cash-in-transit vehicle,
0:03:55 > 0:03:57enter the M60 here at junction 19.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01The surveillance helped officers
0:04:01 > 0:04:04work out where and when the thieves would strike.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It also led them to one of the gang's main players.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Sean Devalda came into the investigation late in the day.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14We only identified who he was reasonably late on.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20But we were satisfied that he was part of the team that were looking at committing commercial robberies.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Within weeks the gang swung into action.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27But the police too were ready and waiting to catch them in the act.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Sean Devalda, on the day in question, was in a stolen vehicle,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34a stolen car that was on false plates,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36and we were surveilling that vehicle.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So, we were aware of who was in the vehicle.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40We had measures in place, should they commit a crime,
0:04:40 > 0:04:44that we could intervene, or prevent it from happening in the first place.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48As detectives tailed Devalda and his three accomplices,
0:04:48 > 0:04:50they seemed to panic.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51They abandoned their mission,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54speeding off into the back streets of Salford.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57For whatever reason they decided to abort on the day in question
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and two items were discarded from the vehicle.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04In their panic the men made a crucial mistake.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07A mask and a gun were hurled from the car.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12There just happened to be a nine millimetre weapon that was loaded
0:05:12 > 0:05:15with seven live bullets and a balaclava.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20And obviously evidence was present on the items that linked Sean Devalda to that vehicle.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21His DNA was in it, basically.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23So we were able to put him to that item.
0:05:24 > 0:05:29Three of the gang were arrested but Devalda was more elusive.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Detectives turned to the public for help.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33MUSIC: Crimewatch Theme Tune
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Take a good look at this lot.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46First up is Sean Devalda, who's 21,
0:05:46 > 0:05:49goes by the nickname Tusk and has strong links to Salford,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Prestwich and parts of Bolton.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52But he's very dangerous,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54so if you see him don't approach him, just dial 999.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02But it was too late to appeal to Crimewatch viewers.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05The armed robber had already fled from the UK.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Now he was living the high life in the Spanish sunshine.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12He was well supported financially.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14He was living in decent accommodation.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16He was attending big pool parties
0:06:16 > 0:06:19that cost an awful lot of money to get in.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22But he was with a number of close friends and associates of his
0:06:22 > 0:06:23that were looking after him.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Later, how Devalda's luxury life on the run
0:06:28 > 0:06:31would be undone by his own phone calls.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Twice a year, roads police across the UK run a special operation
0:06:45 > 0:06:50tracking down foreign criminals using the British road network.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Are you both known to the police at all?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53No?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It's run from a hub in Birmingham
0:06:56 > 0:07:01linking up with 12 European forces in the never-ending search
0:07:01 > 0:07:05for the 18,000 criminals who go on the run in Europe every year.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10We deal with a full range of offences from murder, rape,
0:07:10 > 0:07:14robbery, all down to lower-level offences.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17But these can often be people who are wanted in their own country
0:07:17 > 0:07:19but are currently living in the UK.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- We need passports. - That documentation is crucial for the quick removal of those people.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Passports is the main thing to stop them leaving.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Today in Worcestershire, police constables Karl Lacey and Danny Evans
0:07:30 > 0:07:33have a list of people to track down who are wanted abroad.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39We are going to go to these addresses today,
0:07:39 > 0:07:45locate and arrest on behalf of the Polish and Romanian authorities.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We're just arriving at one of the addresses now in Redditch.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52This is a Romanian female that we're looking for here,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54wanted on drugs offences.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57We're just pulling into the close now.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So we're going to secure the front and back of the house.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Hopefully she'll be there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04The intention is to knock the door,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06try and get in the house as quick as we can and detain this female.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19This one here. This one here.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Before approaching the door,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26the team want to make sure all other potential exits are covered.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yes, yes. Back secure.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32The top window's open and the patio door's open. Received?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37To be honest, I don't think she'll be able to get out the back here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39There's a top window open there.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41While Karl and Danny watch the back,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44officers Matt and Jim knock on the door.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46A Romanian man answers.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Who else is in the house?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Uh, two colleagues.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Two colleagues? - Yeah, and one family.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53OK, are they upstairs?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Yeah.- OK.- Please...
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Do you want to just go and have a seat in the kitchen for me?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Yeah, OK.- And we'll go and have a little knock-up, all right?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You wait here, all right?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06The police have intelligence to suggest the woman has recently lived here.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It's essential they speak to all the occupants to check if anyone matches
0:09:10 > 0:09:12the description of the wanted woman.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Hello. Morning.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Yes, yes, two males.- Police.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Five occupants now. - Have you got ID?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29While they double-check the identities of everybody here,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Danny makes sure there's no place a fugitive could be hiding.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- It's clear.- The woman isn't here
0:09:45 > 0:09:49but police suspect that someone will know where she is.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50When did she move out?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Five months.- Five months ago? - Something like that.- Right, OK.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00The lady that we're looking for has moved out about five months ago so
0:10:00 > 0:10:04they're just doing some enquiries now with the remaining occupants to see if we can get her phone number.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Or some further address.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It just appeared that she couldn't pay her rent properly
0:10:09 > 0:10:12so she'd been kicked out of her house.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16But then the tenant who previously denied all knowledge
0:10:16 > 0:10:19lets on that he knows where the woman works.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23OK, we'll go and have a little look.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Sorry to wake you up. OK?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27But thank you for your help. OK?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29And we'll try and see if we can speak to her.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- All right? I'll let you get back to bed. OK.- OK, thank you.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35They're all Romanian occupants in the house.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37They've been quite engaging with us
0:10:37 > 0:10:39so we're going to go to the work premises.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43We know she definitely does work there because they work there
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and they saw her there a couple of days ago.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's a short drive to the factory
0:10:47 > 0:10:50where the fugitive is apparently working.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56But when the team arrive, the woman accused of drug dealing has disappeared.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58The premises that we've attended today,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00the lady's been fired from.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03They haven't got no forwarding address for her at the moment.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05The only address that they've got is...
0:11:07 > 0:11:09..the one that we've been to.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11The lead then went cold on that
0:11:11 > 0:11:14because they didn't know where she'd gone
0:11:14 > 0:11:15and we had no way of finding out.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Hunting fugitives is a cat and mouse game
0:11:19 > 0:11:21where success is never guaranteed.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It can be very frustrating when you don't find people that you
0:11:24 > 0:11:26are tasked to find.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30If you don't get the result that you're after but you've exhausted every lead,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32at least you can be satisfied to know
0:11:32 > 0:11:36that you've not left any stone unturned.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40We just need to wait for her now to pop her head up,
0:11:40 > 0:11:42make some sort of application, do something,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44where we can just get a new address for them.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50The woman may have avoided capture today
0:11:50 > 0:11:52but the police will never give up the chase.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Hi, it's police. Could you let us in?
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Later, we'll see how Karl and Danny's determination
0:12:00 > 0:12:04finally pays off when they find another target IS at home.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Vilias?- Yeah.- You're Vilias, yeah?
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Yeah.- OK, we've got him, Sarge.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22In February 2007, armed robber Sean Devalda went on the run.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26He'd been part of a gang who tried and failed
0:12:26 > 0:12:28to rob a cash van in Salford.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Police suspected he'd fled to Spain.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36The National Crime Agency, who track down British criminals who flee abroad,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38began to search for him.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42We tried to build up a picture to see who he would be communicating with,
0:12:42 > 0:12:46or he would be frequently visiting, who would be coming visiting him...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Trying to get a good clear understanding of where Sean was
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and how best we could capture him.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57They discovered that Devalda wasn't alone in Spain.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00It seemed being a fugitive was a family trait.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03He was in Spain with his brother who was also wanted by Lancashire Police
0:13:03 > 0:13:05for a similar offence.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07We wanted them locked up, cos even though they were out of the country,
0:13:07 > 0:13:09they still presented a risk.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Whilst the Devalda brothers were sunning themselves in Spain,
0:13:13 > 0:13:18the other men who'd planned to rob the cash delivery van weren't so lucky.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22The trial went ahead despite Devalda being on the run at the time and his
0:13:22 > 0:13:25co-conspirators were found guilty in early 2008.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Devalda was convicted in his absence.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Police across Europe were asked to join in the manhunt.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38It took three years before detectives in Manchester heard that Devalda had been spotted.
0:13:39 > 0:13:46But by then he'd left Spain for Amsterdam, using false documents to conceal his identity.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Whilst on the run, Devalda was able to obtain a number of false
0:13:50 > 0:13:54identities that allowed him basically to travel from Spain to Amsterdam
0:13:54 > 0:13:57without being apprehended by the authorities.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02But Devalda didn't stay long in the city.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06His phone records soon revealed his country hideout.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10They knew that he was in a rural part of the Netherlands
0:14:10 > 0:14:14surrounded by water, little inlets, fenced-off community,
0:14:14 > 0:14:19so it was quite clear that they'd got a good lock on him.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Now it was down to the Dutch police.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25We have methods to get somebody by surprise.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Was the fugitive's run of good luck about to come to an end?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31EXPLOSION
0:14:37 > 0:14:43In the last ten years, around 2,000 British fugitives have fled from the UK.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Many head for Amsterdam's crowded streets and Spain's busy beaches.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56But what makes a desperate man go on the run?
0:14:56 > 0:14:59A moment of panic or a premeditated plan?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Andrew Moran staged one of the most dramatic escapes from justice
0:15:05 > 0:15:06ever seen in Britain.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12On the last day of his trial for armed robbery, he leapt the dock.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16It was a move he'd spent weeks planning,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19even down to the trainers he was wearing that day.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30To succeed in making such a dramatic escape,
0:15:30 > 0:15:35former undercover cop Peter Bleksley believes that a criminal needs to be
0:15:35 > 0:15:37good at planning ahead.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41The small-time villain who sees an open window and clambers into
0:15:41 > 0:15:44somebody's house, almost on the spur of the moment,
0:15:44 > 0:15:49stuffs his pockets full of jewellery and cash and then runs away,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53doesn't really plan much beyond that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59People involved in very serious crime tend to spend a large amount
0:15:59 > 0:16:03of their time plotting and planning those crimes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Consequently, they think about what they'll do if they get identified.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12These people invariably have criminal networks
0:16:12 > 0:16:17that cross borders and these networks are able to support them,
0:16:17 > 0:16:19keep them hidden and away from the law.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Fugitives rely on these networks.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29In Moran's case, associates provided him with a luxury hideout and
0:16:29 > 0:16:32transport around Spain's Costa Blanca.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36But friends and family can inadvertently lead detectives
0:16:36 > 0:16:38to the man they're trying to track down.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42As former police Inspector Brendan O'Brien explains.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45We would focus on their parents, their girlfriends,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47their cousins, their friends.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49We would visit them at all sorts of extraordinary times of
0:16:49 > 0:16:55the day. Any legal and ethical way of finding them, we would utilise.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And every time we went into an address we'd be looking for little clues as
0:16:58 > 0:17:00to whether they'd been there or not.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03I've not come across anyone who's been wanted
0:17:03 > 0:17:08who's completely broken all ties with their friends and family.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Ultimately, it was Moran's girlfriend who led police to his hideaway.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21But whilst some fugitives like Moran manage to stay hidden for years,
0:17:21 > 0:17:23others, including Glen Madden,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26find being away from family and friends just too difficult.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34The drug dealer fled from Liverpool to Amsterdam in February 2015.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Just four months later, he was spotted walking around the city in broad daylight.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43When officers arrested him, they were surprised by his response.
0:17:44 > 0:17:48When he was arrested the suspect said, "I'm relieved...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51"I'm glad that you've got me,"
0:17:51 > 0:17:53because he had a lot of pressure.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54To be on the run...
0:17:56 > 0:17:57..takes a lot of energy.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It's not a comfortable way of living.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Peter Bleksley knows to his cost
0:18:03 > 0:18:06what it's like to live a life in hiding.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10He was once placed in witness protection for his own safety.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I was in fear of the footsteps behind me.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I was in fear of every passing car.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23Because my thoughts were, "Is this the person that's come to kill me?"
0:18:23 > 0:18:27When a fugitive feels, "Is this the person that's come to catch me?"
0:18:27 > 0:18:29the pressure is constant.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Forever living your life looking over your shoulder is a very,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39very wearing, demoralising, unpleasant experience.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44When that hand finally lands on their shoulder,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47their wrists go into the handcuffs,
0:18:47 > 0:18:52it can sometimes be a relief because all that time, all that pressure,
0:18:52 > 0:18:57all those stresses and strains of being a fugitive suddenly disappear.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09West Yorkshire, with its population of over two million people,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13has one of the busiest extradition units in the UK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Other than the Metropolitan Police with quite a sizeable team,
0:19:17 > 0:19:21we in West Yorkshire have executed more European Arrest Warrants
0:19:21 > 0:19:23than any other force in the country.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27That's done on purpose to protect our communities.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34On the front line, it's PC Dave Lockwood and his partner PC Tom Allen's job
0:19:34 > 0:19:39to hunt down foreign nationals wanted for committing crimes back in their native countries.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Tonight they have two urgent cases.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48The first is a violent man who's been on the run for three years.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52He is now thought to be hiding out in one of the UK's biggest cities.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58We are going to Leeds and we are looking for a Polish male,
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Przemyslaw Milewski, and he's wanted for a robbery.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Reading through it, the robbery, he's kicked him all over the body,
0:20:08 > 0:20:13used force, and hit him in order to get his mobile phone.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18He's used threats to kill the victim and then he's actually kidnapped the
0:20:18 > 0:20:21victim and thrown him in the boot of a Skoda Octavia and taken him to an
0:20:21 > 0:20:24unknown location and terrorised him further.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28He's then stolen his identity card,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33committed a fraud by, I think, obtaining money.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37In short, he's exactly the sort of criminal West Yorkshire Police
0:20:37 > 0:20:39want off their streets.
0:20:39 > 0:20:45People who try to evade justice in Europe by hiding in the
0:20:45 > 0:20:47communities of West Yorkshire
0:20:47 > 0:20:50are a risk to the people in West Yorkshire.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Those offenders do not come to West Yorkshire
0:20:53 > 0:20:55to resettle and rehabilitate.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59They come, firstly, to escape justice in the country where
0:20:59 > 0:21:04they're wanted, then they come to West Yorkshire as an unknown commodity
0:21:04 > 0:21:06but proficient in committing crime.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18This house is the last known address for the man they're after.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:21:19 > 0:21:20Contact.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Female's coming down.- Cool.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27But the woman who answers the door claims not to know him.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32We're here because we're looking for a gentleman who we believed was
0:21:32 > 0:21:34resident at one of these two flats.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Do you know anybody by the name of...
0:21:39 > 0:21:41..Przemyslaw Milewski?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- No.- Are we OK just to come up and have a look?
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Is that OK?
0:21:45 > 0:21:48We need to speak to this gentleman, that's all, so...
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Rather than taking her at her word, the officers go inside
0:21:53 > 0:21:54to search the premises.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57She's never heard of this gentleman, she's lived here for three years.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Looks honest, looks like she's telling the truth
0:22:00 > 0:22:02but the connection is that she's Polish.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Obviously the male we want is Polish.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05People do sometimes...
0:22:06 > 0:22:07..lie and not tell us the truth.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So rather than just talking on the doorstep, since we're here,
0:22:10 > 0:22:15with her permission, we're just going to have a look and make sure there's no belongings for a male.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20The trail that led them to this address seems to have gone cold.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I think for now we're pretty much stuck on this one, aren't we?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28We've got intelligence linking him here one month ago.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32We know for a fact he definitely lived here in 2011.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35But there's intelligence showing him as being here a month ago.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Move on to the next one?- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Thank you very much. I see your keys here.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Are you coming down to let us out?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Thank you very much, love.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Wanted people are never helpful.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48They will hide or they will fight and stay on the move.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54It's frustrating, but eventually we catch up with them because they fall
0:22:54 > 0:22:58asleep, they stay in places for a little longer and we catch them.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01The officers will never give up.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Once there's new intelligence, the search for the man linked to this
0:23:04 > 0:23:07address a month ago will start again.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12And with around 1,500 European criminals fleeing to the UK each year,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15there are plenty more to go after.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20The officers' next warrant is for a serious drug dealer from Poland.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25She's been part of an organised crime group producing and trafficking
0:23:25 > 0:23:28amphet and cannabis throughout Poland.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34The sort of numbers we're talking about here is 6,000g of pure amphet.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37So, a good level.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Later, intelligence suggests
0:23:40 > 0:23:44this may be the Leeds home of the Polish drug dealer
0:23:44 > 0:23:47wanted for selling amphetamines with a street value
0:23:47 > 0:23:49of tens of thousands of pounds.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53It's the police. Can you open the door, please?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55There's a little girl. She's about three.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01But could this woman really be the ruthless drug dealer Dave and Tom are looking for?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12In Herefordshire, traffic cops Karl Lacey and Danny Evans
0:24:12 > 0:24:17are taking part in a national operation tackling foreign offenders.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22They have a list of fugitives wanted abroad they need to track down.
0:24:22 > 0:24:30We're going back across Hereford again now and we're in possession of a European Arrest Warrant for a male
0:24:30 > 0:24:33who is wanted for burglary in Lithuania.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37It's our intention to go to the address and make some enquiries.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Hopefully if he's there we can arrest him.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48On arrival, the team of officers fan out to surround the property.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50They know they're trying to catch a serious offender,
0:24:50 > 0:24:57Vilius Slyzauskas, who is on the run to escape a six-year jail sentence.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59This man was wanted.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03He'd been convicted of burglary offences of a six-year imprisonment
0:25:03 > 0:25:06and he was currently outstanding and absconded from them.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Is it a flat number? - Four.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Uh, flat two.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16We've attended the address.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17Do the... Do their...
0:25:18 > 0:25:24We've tried to put a cordon on the area to prevent him from escaping from the property.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29To get past the security door, Danny employs a trick of the trade.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31It's a communal flats.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32We've pressed the intercom,
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I've covered up the camera so he didn't see
0:25:34 > 0:25:37who was on the other side of the door and he's just opened the door.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- 'Yes?'- Hi, it's police, could you let us in?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46- Hello.- Hi.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- Hello.- Hello, how are you?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- All right?- All right. Are you flat number two, are you, sir?- Sorry?- Flat number two?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Yeah.- Um...
0:25:56 > 0:25:57That's you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Slyzauskas has been at large for over a year and a half.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Have you got your passport?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Vilius?- Yeah.- You're Vilius, yeah? - Yeah.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08OK, we've got him, Sarge.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13There's an element of it's always going to catch up with him at some point
0:26:13 > 0:26:15but mid-morning on a rainy day
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I don't think he expected the police to be knocking his door and taking him away.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You're under arrest under the Extradition Act 2003.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24You do not have to say anything.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Anything that you do say may be given in evidence.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Just pop your arms out like that for me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I need to get your passport, OK?
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- It's in the car.- OK.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Just wait there. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Why don't take car keys?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Your car keys are in the flat, yeah? - Yeah.- OK, come in there.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Inside is Slyzauskas's shocked childminder and his young daughter.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Hello, madam, are you all right?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Do you speak English OK?
0:26:54 > 0:26:55No. No. No English, OK.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Slyzauskas is getting increasingly agitated.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00BLEEP.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Have we got his keys?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I just need your passport.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10He may have come across a little bit aggressive.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I don't think that was the case.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I just think he was just upset and he realised he'd been caught.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20He might have been a bit upset with himself which isn't nice for him to
0:27:20 > 0:27:22show that in front of his daughter.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Obviously we're going to take them away from their family.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27We're going to send them back to a place where
0:27:27 > 0:27:29they've left, that they don't want to be.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32So it's understandable in some respects that they're going to get upset about it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36You be happy?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37It's my family here.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Yeah.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Right, first of all, calm.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Yeah, yeah.- Be calm, OK?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- OK, OK.- If you're not calm, OK...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Just coming out with one now.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Stand by.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50- Just calm yourself down.- OK, OK.
0:27:52 > 0:27:58If you've committed a crime and you've been sentenced or you're due to be in court for that crime,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01you've got to take responsibility for it and go.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12You understand that it's a European Arrest Warrant from Lithuania, OK?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14That's why you've been arrested, OK?
0:28:14 > 0:28:15- You understand that.- OK.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Just need his coat.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The wanted man is taken to Hereford custody suite.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Upon arresting him he was a little bit upset.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Quite agitated, to be fair to him.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Why we wanted to handcuff him quite quickly just to get control of him.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44To be fair, he's calmed down now he's got into the custody block.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46But we'll see how we get on putting him in.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- FB?- Fingerprinting, it should say. - Oh, its FP!
0:28:53 > 0:28:57The minute we arrest somebody a clock starts ticking.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59It's a police clock, effectively.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03We've got a certain amount of time that we can deal with this individual.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07And within 24 hours we have to get him to a Magistrates' Court.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11On this particular occasion it was Westminster Magistrates' Court.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13And rightly so. He needs to be processed quickly.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16But similarly we need to abide by the rules we've got,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18make sure it's an effective arrest and...
0:29:20 > 0:29:22..he doesn't get off with anything. He knows what's going on.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24He is going to need an interpreter.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Yeah.- But he understands the principle of what's happened.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28It's a European Arrest Warrant.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31It's ultimately for two counts of theft from dwelling.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Officers in custody suites in the UK have become increasingly used to
0:29:35 > 0:29:38dealing with foreign offenders.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Whilst they're treated with courtesy and offered an interpreter,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44they're left in no doubt that they're not welcome here.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49OK, can you explain to this gentleman that my name is Sergeant O'Reilly?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52He's obviously just been booked in by my colleague but I'm going to run
0:29:52 > 0:29:54through the rest of the assessment.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57The process has to be done properly.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01We've done these arrest warrants so frequently now you kind of get a way
0:30:01 > 0:30:04of knowing what you need to do and when you need to do it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Vilius Slyzauskas will soon be taken to London to appear in a Westminster
0:30:10 > 0:30:12extradition court.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17For Karl and Danny, another European Arrest Warrant has been successfully served.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19We're not here to make any mistakes, you know?
0:30:19 > 0:30:23We've got a duty to the people that this guy's burgled to make sure that
0:30:23 > 0:30:25he's brought to justice.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Back in 2011,
0:30:38 > 0:30:42police in Amsterdam were on the hunt for a dangerous fugitive.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Armed robber Sean Devalda had gone on the run four years earlier
0:30:47 > 0:30:52after a robbery on a cash transit van was foiled by police in Salford.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Jeroen Poelert and his crack team of detectives were determined that this
0:30:56 > 0:30:59fugitive would be tracked down.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02We got the information that he was here in the neighbourhood,
0:31:02 > 0:31:07he should be. That he was very violent and maybe armed.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08So that...
0:31:09 > 0:31:11That worries us.
0:31:11 > 0:31:17So we put extra effort on this case and we start an
0:31:17 > 0:31:23investigation, so a whole team is focusing to get the person.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27Inspector Remco van Huys was in charge of the hunt.
0:31:27 > 0:31:33He discovered Devalda was using a mobile phone in a rural area 20 miles from Amsterdam.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36We were able to trace down in this area,
0:31:36 > 0:31:38this is Kortenhoef in Holland,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42it's not a very busy area so we had a bit of a problem...
0:31:43 > 0:31:45..to locate him.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47But we knew that his telephone was somewhere around here.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49To find somebody...
0:31:50 > 0:31:52..when you look back it's always easy
0:31:52 > 0:31:54but when you begin, you have nothing.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58You have only a name and the information from abroad.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Yes, we think he is in your neighbourhood.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03And you just start.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08It's like a big puzzle and you only need one piece
0:32:08 > 0:32:10and then you make it bigger.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14And in this case we used his telephone.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19But whilst they knew that Devalda was in the area,
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Remco and his team were struggling to pinpoint his exact location.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28The phone taps gave us the information that he was going to flee to Spain,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30to Tenerife,
0:32:30 > 0:32:35at the beginning of February so we had to move rather quickly.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39It was time to switch tactics.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Using old-fashioned surveillance, the undercover cops
0:32:42 > 0:32:45had to spot the fugitive in person.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50We saw him coming out of one of the houses and then it was for us the
0:32:50 > 0:32:53point, OK, now we are 100% sure that he's in the house.
0:32:54 > 0:33:00So we tried to, we start our preparations to arrest him.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02But in the four years since Devalda had fled,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05his appearance had changed drastically.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08We asked our British colleagues to come over
0:33:08 > 0:33:11because we knew that he had false passports,
0:33:11 > 0:33:15so we also wanted someone who could identify him.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19To help Dutch police make sure they had the right man,
0:33:19 > 0:33:24the National Crime Agency dispatched Graham Roberts to the scene.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26They asked whether I could go over to the Netherlands
0:33:26 > 0:33:31to give a briefing to the Dutch national police,
0:33:31 > 0:33:35to give them an understanding of who Sean was and to explain to them
0:33:35 > 0:33:38how much of a high-profile individual he was.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45The Dutch police's elite SWAT team
0:33:45 > 0:33:48were called in and readied themselves to strike.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51We were so close, we could smell him.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52We thought that we'd...
0:33:53 > 0:33:55..be able to move in on him.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Could the dangerous fugitive's years on the run finally be over?
0:34:07 > 0:34:12In Leeds, officers Dave Lockwood and Tom Allen from West Yorkshire Police
0:34:12 > 0:34:18regularly search out foreign criminals wanted by police in their native country.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Tonight they're looking for a member of a serious organised crime gang
0:34:21 > 0:34:25involved in the manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30The criminal they're after was convicted in Poland
0:34:30 > 0:34:34and still has seven months of her prison sentence left to serve.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40The sort of numbers we're talking about here is 6,000g of pure amphet.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44So, a good level.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49The offences date back to 2000, 1st of January 2000,
0:34:49 > 0:34:50and go right through to...
0:34:51 > 0:34:53..March 2007.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58Poland wants to put this fugitive back behind bars.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05West Yorkshire's police investigation has led them to this house
0:35:05 > 0:35:09where they've found a Polish grandmother who speaks no English.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12We're looking for Sylwia Sokolowska.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Is that yourself?
0:35:14 > 0:35:15No? What's your name?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- ID card?- Er...
0:35:18 > 0:35:19Or passport?
0:35:21 > 0:35:22SHE SPEAKS POLISH
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Yeah, do you want to ring somebody,
0:35:26 > 0:35:28a son or daughter that speaks English?
0:35:28 > 0:35:30If not we can get Language Line.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37The woman has called her daughter to translate.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39What's your mum called, please?
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Sylwia...
0:35:42 > 0:35:45And what's her surname? Sokolowska.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Right, can I ask whereabouts do you live?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Are you local?
0:35:49 > 0:35:53The woman's denied her name but Tom's speaking to the daughter
0:35:53 > 0:35:55who has confirmed it is the wanted person.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I don't think it's malicious from her mother.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59I think it's just poor English.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03The woman's name is confirmed as Sylwia Analia Sokolowska.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04She IS the one they're looking for.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Would that be OK, if you could?
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Just stay on the line. What I'm going to do,
0:36:10 > 0:36:11I'm going to pass you back to your mum.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13If you can just...
0:36:13 > 0:36:15If you just explain to her for now
0:36:15 > 0:36:21that there is a warrant that's been issued in Poland for her arrest,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23she doesn't need to worry,
0:36:23 > 0:36:30and we'll explain in more details when the family member turns up and can translate for us. All right?
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Tell her not to panic or get upset.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36I don't like it when there's little kids in t'house.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43You know, a three, four-year-old and we're going to be taking her grandma away.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Another family member who lives close by has come to translate.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50If you can just tell her,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52I have given her the documents which explains it.
0:36:55 > 0:37:01The Polish authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the offence of
0:37:01 > 0:37:03supplying controlled drugs.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08OK? What Poland are telling us is that they want Sylwia to go back to
0:37:08 > 0:37:10serve the rest of her sentence now.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13She's going to be under arrest...
0:37:15 > 0:37:16..for the offence.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24As she begins to understand that justice has finally caught up with her,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27the convicted drug dealer starts to get upset.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32There is a human consequence and I feel for the family who lost
0:37:32 > 0:37:36Grandmother. But she brought that about, not West Yorkshire Police,
0:37:36 > 0:37:37SHE brought that about.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42As she is arrested and taken from the house,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45her family is also devastated.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51Everyone's crying. The lady we've arrested's crying, daughter's crying,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53the little girl's crying.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56They're thinking this is the last time they're going to see her now
0:37:56 > 0:37:59because we're going to take her, she's going to go to police station,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02she's going to go to court, because they can't pay the bail she's going to go to prison.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05So, they're really worried that she's going to, from there, go to Poland.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08So unless they can get to London to see her at court or in prison,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11they're really worried that obviously we're taking Grandma away.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17She is wanted for some serious offences so there's nothing else
0:38:17 > 0:38:20we're going to do bar arrest her and take her in.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25This example with Sylwia demonstrates how police officers who are rightly
0:38:25 > 0:38:31executing that warrant to extradite Sylwia so she could face justice
0:38:31 > 0:38:35carried out that, but did it in such a way that was sympathetic to the
0:38:35 > 0:38:40family and delicate, particularly where the granddaughter was concerned.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41All right?
0:38:43 > 0:38:46If you were to see her out in the street or see her in the supermarket,
0:38:46 > 0:38:50you wouldn't think the offences that's been put with her, or...
0:38:51 > 0:38:52..what we've been told she's done.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54No, you certainly wouldn't. I certainly wouldn't.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Just up to where Dave is, please.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07At the police station, the drug dealing grandmother's fingerprints are taken and sent
0:39:07 > 0:39:10to Poland to confirm her identity.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14For now she'll be locked in a cell and held in custody until she can be
0:39:14 > 0:39:17brought before a judge and her case decided.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Though it's come as a shock to the woman and her family,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24the police make no apologies for this arrest.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27Drug dealers perpetuate misery
0:39:27 > 0:39:31and the crime that funds that drug addiction.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36So all drug dealers present as a single offender but I argue
0:39:36 > 0:39:42that behind every drug dealer is a massive wave of criminality and misery
0:39:42 > 0:39:45brought about by their greed and drug-trafficking.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's the early hours of the morning
0:39:52 > 0:39:55in a small village on the outskirts of Amsterdam.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00A Dutch SWAT team is preparing to seize armed robber Sean Devalda.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07He's a violent criminal who's been on the run for four years.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10This is a dangerous operation.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Because of the difficulty to walk to the house and because we know it was
0:40:13 > 0:40:18a very large criminal, we thought maybe there were weapons involved,
0:40:18 > 0:40:22we didn't do the arrest ourselves but we asked our special raid team.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Graham Roberts from the National Crime Agency
0:40:27 > 0:40:30was standing by to identify the wanted man.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32It was around 4am or 5am.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35The SWAT team had got in place.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38My colleague and I were sat in a vehicle quite close by
0:40:38 > 0:40:42and listening to a Dutch commentary and not understanding a word,
0:40:42 > 0:40:47and just hoping for the positive words that he'd been arrested.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49EXPLOSION, GLASS SHATTERS
0:40:52 > 0:40:54But even after the arrest was made,
0:40:54 > 0:40:59the Dutch team weren't sure who they'd captured.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01We didn't recognise him from the picture
0:41:01 > 0:41:02when he was arrested by the raid team.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04But our British colleague was there.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10At first Graham found it difficult to confirm the arrested man was indeed Devalda.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12I remember walking through the door,
0:41:12 > 0:41:14lots of police officers around,
0:41:14 > 0:41:18and there was an individual there who looked nothing like the photo,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20the mugshot, that I'd seen of Sean Devalda.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23And then I was passed an Irish passport.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It was only then when I had a look at the Irish passport
0:41:25 > 0:41:30and some of the documents, that I took over, I then started to see a striking resemblance.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35And when I asked the officers, could I have a good look in Devalda's eyes?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It was then that I realised that that was him.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42Detective Chief Inspector Aaron Duggan from Greater Manchester Police
0:41:42 > 0:41:46had been hunting Devalda for four years.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50He flew to Holland to bring the fugitive home to justice.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54When I told him he was under arrest I could see a marked change in his
0:41:54 > 0:41:56body language. He looked at the floor
0:41:56 > 0:41:58and that's when I knew that it had dawned on him
0:41:58 > 0:41:59that he was going to prison.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05For the Dutch police, the operation to track down one of Europe's most
0:42:05 > 0:42:08wanted was a great success.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09It was very satisfying.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11We were quite happy with the results.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14The message is, don't come over here because you're not safe here as well.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17EXPLOSION, GLASS SHATTERS
0:42:25 > 0:42:27After four years on the run,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31Sean Devalda was sentenced to six years in prison.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36He was released in 2014 but is now back inside for drugs offences.
0:42:36 > 0:42:43In June 2016, burglar Vilius Slyzauskas was sent back to Lithuania after losing his
0:42:43 > 0:42:44appeal against extradition.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Drug dealing grandmother Sylwia Sokolowska should have been extradited
0:42:50 > 0:42:54back to Poland in November 2016.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57But she went on the run before she could be put on a military flight
0:42:57 > 0:42:58back to a Polish prison.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04There's now another warrant out for her arrest in the UK.
