A MAN wanted by police in North Yorkshire has been arrested.

A police spokesman has now said: “Last Thursday (April 11) we appealed for help to find a Scarborough man who was wanted for theft.
“We can now confirm that the 33-year-old has been located and arrested.
“Thanks to all who shared the appeal.”
