Fugitive killer caught in Spain following attempted bank robbery - Manchester Evening News: "convicted killer who went on the run after being sprung from court has been arrested in Spain's Costa Blanca following an attempted bank robbery.
Richard Smith, 29, had been missing since May after a security van bringing him to Salford magistrates court was attacked.
Smith, of Pegwell Drive, Lower Broughton, was being taken to court on May 13 after being charged with conspiracy to commit arson.
But Spanish police finally arrested Smith on Wednesday on suspicion of attempted robbery in the Spanish town of Benissa, near Alicante.
If he is charged and convicted Smith may have to serve a sentence in Spain before being extradited to the UK.
A European arrest warrant had already been issued for Smith before he was arrested in connection with the failed bank raid.
It is understood he was allegedly seen at the bank, but fled and was arrested later at gunpoint."
