Police last night thanked the public for their assistance after a man they were looking for was arrested.

A police spokesman said that Zywonde Lema, “a person of interest”, was arrested earlier today.

He added: “We wish to thank members of the public for their assistance in locating Mr Lema.”

Police refused to reveal what Mr Lema had been arrested in connection with.
