A wanted man was arrested by officers on a plane at Leeds Bradford Airport as he prepared to fly out to Ibiza on holiday. 

Officers boarded the flight which was stopped on the runway on Thurday afternoon to arrest the 24-year-old, after they received information alerting them that he was set to travel. 

The man from the Leeds area had been wanted for questioning over a robbery at a shop in Kirkstall and burglary in Boston Spa. 

He was interviewed and released from custody in the early hours of Friday pending further enquiries. 

Chief Inspector Ian Croft, of Leeds District Police, said: "Every day our officers are out looking for wanted suspects but it's not often that we arrest someone as they are just about to fly off on their holidays."
