A wanted fugitive is being escorted back to the country.
Anglesey man, David Daniel Hayes, has been missing since he first appeared in Caernarfon Crown Court in November 2015 in relation to child sexual offences.
The 39-year-old was located in Spain and is now being escorted back to the UK by North Wales Police.
Investigating officer DC Tim Dobson, of the North Wales Police protection of vulnerable persons unit, said: “Hayes mistakenly believed he could avoid police and the courts by fleeing the country following charge.
"However with the tenacious and determined efforts of those involved in the hunt for him, we have been able to ensure that he will now face trial in relation to the offences he has been charged with and hopefully he will be brought to justice.”
DS Katie Ellis said: “This is long awaited news for the victims and their family, who have shown great courage to come forward, and further resilience and strength in awaiting the inevitable arrest of Hayes.”
