A wanted man has been located and arrested after Dorset Police issued a public appeal.
Officers confirmed today that Michael Southwood, who is 61, has been found and arrested following enquiries, after the force had asked for public help in relation to him through an earlier appeal issued before this update.
Dorset Police said it would like to “thank everyone who shared our appeal,” and the latest update means officers are no longer asking the public to help trace Southwood through that appeal following the arrest.
Police have not included further details in this update about where Southwood was located, or about the circumstances in which he was arrested when issuing the confirmation to the public as part of the material supplied to newsrooms today.
The confirmation gives residents who may have seen or shared the earlier appeal a clear update on the case, and it marks the end of the public tracing stage described in the force’s release.
