‘Most wanted’ criminal found hiding behind wardrobe

One of the UK’s “most wanted” criminals will be deported after he was found hiding behind a wardrobe, police have said.

Officers from West Yorkshire Police found the man during a search in Girlington, Bradford, on Saturday.

He was wanted in connection with multiple serious sexual offences in Slovakia and will now be deported from the UK, police said.

A Facebook post by West Yorkshire Police’s Bradford West team said four officers had “conducted inquiries in the Girlington area for one of the UK’s most wanted males who had links to the area”.
