‘Most-wanted’ ex-pat in UK hands himself in

LONDON -- A man on a list of the 10 most-wanted British criminal suspects hiding in southern Spain handed himself in on Tuesday, Crimestoppers said. Andrew Alderman, who was sentenced to 10 years in jail for indecent assault and the rape of a girl under 16, handed himself over to Britain’s Consulate General. He is the fourth person on the “most-wanted” list to be tracked down since it was launched two weeks ago. “This is excellent news,” said Denise Holt, Britain’s Ambassador to Spain. “This is another good example of the close cooperation between our two countries.”

Crimestoppers and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) started Operation Captura on Nov. 6, publicising details of suspects they believed were on the run in the Alicante region.
