One of Britain's most-wanted men who led international drug smuggling gang is arrested in South Africa

One of Britain's most wanted men has been arrested in South Africa after three years on the run, the National Crime Agency has confirmed.
Convicted drug trafficker and fraudster Martin Evans, 52, from Swansea was apprehended at a housing complex in the Midrand area of Johannesburg on Saturday night.
The 52-year-old had been on the run since 2011, when he absconded while on temporary licence six years into a 21-year sentence for conspiracy to supply cocaine and fraudulent trading.

Evans was jailed in 2006 after he was found guilty of  leading an organised crime group supplying cocaine, MDMA and ecstasy between 1999 and 2001.
Officials said investigators from the NCA alerted Interpol that Evans was in South Africa.
That resulted in intelligence-led surveillance operations being conducted by the South African Police Service.
These operations led to Evans being tracked down to the housing complex where officers swooped as he was getting out of his car.
Hank Cole, head of international operations for the NCA, said: ‘The exceptional level of collaboration and intelligence sharing with the South African Police Service led to the capture of Evans.
‘This arrest shows the NCA and its partners will pursue fugitives wherever they are in the world. They can run but they can't hide. We have the capability to track them down and bring them to justice.’
