The fugitive ex of Wayne Rooney's hooker was nicked in Spain. | News Of The World: "Smith was sprung from a prison van by two masked men on his way to Salford Magistrates Court in May.
The van had just arrived at court when it was attacked by two armed hoodlums. They escaped in a white transit van later found abandoned.
Smith and Jones then fled the UK sparking a Europe-wide man hunt.
The rhyming couplet were finally arrested on Wednesday shortly after a botched bank robbery attempt in Benissa, Alicante. Two other UK criminals were held at the scene after trying to break the bank's windows. Smith and Jones are wanted in connection with an arson attack in Walkden, Salford which caused £1.2 million damage in 2009.
The blaze destroyed vital forensic evidence linking a car to an armed robbery.
Jones has a previous conviction for armed robbery in 2003. He was part of a gang nicknamed the Rhyming Robbers for the poems they penned about their crimes."
