ONE OF Lancashire's most wanted men has been arrested in Spain after being on the run for more than six years.
Drug dealer David Anthony Stuart was arrested on a European arrest warrant in Barcelona.
The 35 year old, nicknamed 'Catman' was originally arrested in Rishton in July 2004 after police seized nearly 20,000 ecstasy tablets.
He was convicted and jailed in his absence for eight years for conspiracy to supply class A drugs.
Stuart will now be the subject of extradition proceedings after his arrest on Monday.
