DANGEROUS Midland fugitive has been arrested – after being found living in a beach commune in the Canary Islands.

Jonathon Lejman, 29, has been hunted by British cops after being accused of slashing a householder’s face during a burglary.
Spanish police were also investigating claims the Stoke-on-Trent suspect had ‘kneecapped’ a bar owner during a robbery on the Costa Del Sol.

Last night, a spokesman for the Serious and Organised Crime Agency confirmed Lejman has been captured on the sun-kissed isle.
“I can tell you Jonathon Lejman was arrested on Thursday afternoon in Tenerife,” he said. “He was found living in a commune on a beach.”
Lejman’s picture and description were released by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and Crimestoppers in February as part of Operation Captura.
It was featured in British and Spanish newspapers where he was named as one of 10 wanted men thought to be hiding in Spain. So far four suspects, including the Midlander, have been arrested.
The director of operations at Crimestoppers, Dave Cording, said the arrests showed the tactics were working.
“It’s interesting to see that the second arrest this week under Operation Captura has been outside of Spain again,’’ he said.
“Not only is the campaign successful in tracking people down in Spain, but it displaces them as well.
‘‘But as we can see, no matter where these wanted individuals run to, law enforcement will find them.
“I hope this further reinforces to fugitives, that you can run, but can’t hide forever.”
Last week we told how a Dutch bar owner in the Spanish town of La Cala feared he had been targeted by the fugitive.
The businessman, 54, had been running the drinking hole with his Birmingham-born wife when he was attacked by three men, who escaped with £700.
The shocked victim needed surgery to screw together his shattered kneecap. He is still in a wheelchair and the couple have since sold up.
The businessman had recognised one of the attackers as Lejman after seeing the appeal for the fugitive.
His Brummie partner said: “We were called by SOCA on Thursday who told us this animal had been arrested.
“It’s a weight off our shoulders as we felt very uncomfortable knowing he was still out there.
“It does not help my husband’s physical recovery, but it gives us peace of mind.”
