For almost 30 years, Richard Burrows has been wanted in Britain.
In December 1997, he failed to appear at court in Chester, accused of a series of abuses at three different children’s homes in England, and disappeared.
On Thursday, he was finally caught, Chesire police say in a press release.
Burrows had just landed at Heathrow International Airport when he was arrested.
He had then stayed for a longer period in Thailand, according to the report The Guardian.

The beginning of the end
Police say the arrest comes as a result of a collaboration between Cheshire Police and the National Crime Agency’s team in Thailand.
– With the help of our international network, and by working closely with colleagues in the Cheshire police, we have managed to track down a fugitive who is wanted for very serious charges, says detective Elanor Atkinson of the Cheshire police.
She says the arrest could be the beginning of closure for the victims and their families.
– Our goal to find Burrows has not faded in the last 27 years. The arrest marks significant progress in the case, and the start of closure for all involved, she says.

A warning
Atkinson thanks the public for the many tips the police have received over the past 30 years.
– I hope that the arrest serves as a warning to other wanted suspects: No matter how long you hide, we will find you. You’re going to get caught, she says.
