A British man has been arrested by the National Police after holding his ex partner and their two children aged two hostage in Alhaurín el Grande since May 5. During the time that the hostages were deprived of their freedom the man allegedly threatened his ex wife with a pistol and caused diverse injuries. The victim had ended the relationship last January and return to England, but then she came two Spain with her sister for a few days so the husband could see the children, and that was the moment that he took her and children hostage. A European Search, Arrest and Detention Order had been issued against the man by the British authorities because it has been established that the man had fled to Spain two years ago, with the wife, taking advantage of a prison pass from a crime he committed in 1993. The man let the sister return to the UK, and when there she denounced what had happened to the Metropolitan Police, who in turn alerted investigators in Spain thanks to the regular communication channels. It was the SOCA, Serious Organised Crime Agency, which kept the British Embassy in Madrid up to date. Spanish investigators from the UDEV specialist kidnapping and extortion unit of the Judicial Police in Spain established the suspect was living in an urbanisation in Alhaurín el Grande under a false name. Police then started to watch the property in an operation which ended when the man was arrested when driving out in a vehicle. The man will be handled to the National Court which will carry out the repatriation procedures.
