34 year old British man who was one of the most wanted criminals in the U.K. for being allegedly implicated in a kidnapping and drug trafficking, has been arrested by the Guardia Civil in Manilva, Málaga. A European arrest warrant had been issued against 34 year old Martin Wolstenholme in the court in Stoke on Trent in Staffordshire, according to a Guardia Civil statement released on Friday. He is thought to have been one of the drug traffickers in Newcastle under Lyme in 2010 and alleged took part with another three people in the kidnapping of a 22 year old man and demanded a ransom from the family. He fled from the UK in 2011 after discovering that the British police were searching for him, and then came to the Costa del Sol where he tried to disappear in the British community. During the investigation, carried out in conjunction with the Agency against Organisation Crime in the U.K., SOCA, and Crimestoppers, the Guardia Civil located his residency in Manilva, where he lived under a false the name in the company of a woman, who it’s reported did not know his real name, as she just called him Tony. He led a discrete life and did not go out much, except at night. The Guardia saw him leave the house and following him to inside of a Chinese Bazaar. When he saw the Guardia he tried to escape after hitting one of them. El Mundo says the Guardia was injured in the scuffle.
