A British thief who was on the run from justice in the U.K. has been arrested in Ibiza. Police sources say the 36 year old, named with the initials R.W., has a European Arrest Warrant against him for an armed violent robbery with intimidation which took place last summer when he was on a prison pass. He was serving time for two earlier similar crimes and the illegal possession of firearms. He entered into a supermarket in Kent on August 28 and threatened the employees with a shotgun. After locking them in an office he destroyed the closed circuit TV system and made off with 1,000 pounds. He was intercepted during his escape by a police patrol and is alleged to have pointed his gun at the police pulling the trigger, but for some reason it did not fire. The UDYCO specialist crime unit from the Ibiza Police became aware of the presence of the man on the island and set up a search team which ended on the 12th with his arrest. He is now at the disposition of the Instruction Court Five of the National Court which will arrange extradition back to Britain.
