Police in Wales thanked their counterparts in Sheffield

Zak Corbett was arrested yesterday in Sheffield city centre by officers carrying out routine rough sleeper patrols.

Police had appealed last month for help to find the 44-year-old, who was wanted on suspicion of carrying out a robbery in Anglesey.

North Wales Police said at the time he had links to Sheffield, Manchester and Rotherham.

South Yorkshire Police tweeted: "Great result for @NWPolice & expertly spotted by our @SYPSheffield @SheffCentralNHP officers who were carrying out routine rough sleeper patrols in the city centre #PoliceFamily."

North Wales Police today said Mr Corbett was back in north Wales being questioned by detectives.

"Thanks for your help & RTs and big diolch to #SouthYorksPolice. #Nohidingplace!" the force added.
