Suspected gunman on the run for four years is arrested outside gym
A man who has been on the run for the last four years has been arrested after police spotted him outside a gym.
An armed unit detained the man – sought over a shooting last month as well as importing guns and drugs supply – after he was spotted in a car in Shirley, Birmingham, on Wednesday.
The black BMW was located at Blythe Valley Business Park at around 12.30pm and the 28-year-old was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder over the shooting in Agatha's Road in Saltley on September 23. In that incident, a man suffered shotgun wounds to his arm and neck – but was not seriously injured.
But he was also wanted for failing to attend court back in 2017, having been charged on suspicion of importing firearms, supplying Class A drugs and perverting the course of justice.
