Shahid Hussain, a man sought by the National Crime Agency (NCA) in connection with Operation Stovewood, has been arrested. Bulgarian police officers detained the 48-year-old Pakistani national at the Kapitan Andreevo border post on November 26 as he attempted to enter the country from Turkey.

Hussain, who previously resided in Rotherham, is wanted for his alleged involvement in the indecent assault of a 14-year-old girl in 2003. Although he was charged with the offences in July 2018, he failed to appear in court, resulting in the Crown Prosecution Service obtaining a European Arrest Warrant.
