Crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) said that Dean Lawrence Rice, 49, from an earlier batch of individuals wanted under a drive to round up suspects, was arrested at 9am British time on Wednesday in the town of Alhuarin, by Spanish police.
This followed the arrest on Monday evening of Everardus Wijtvliet, 39, who was held on Monday evening in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. He was in the latest batch of wanted individuals sought under Operation Captura, designed to find suspects believed to be on the run in Spain.
Exeter-born Rice had been convicted in his absence and sentenced to life imprisonment for conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment. After the victim resigned from working for him he was abducted on March 15 2006 in London.
Dutch national Wijtvliet is accused of organising the importation of illegal drugs into Britain. One consignment included a lorry driven into Dover in 2009, carrying 106kg of powder mixed with heroin and cocaine.
