One of Scotland's most wanted men has been arrested in the Netherlands with another fugitive after a major search operation.
Jamie "Iceman" Stevenson, from Rutherglen, was apprehended while jogging in Amsterdam around midday on Friday February 4.
The manhunt for Stevenson escalated last month when an international wanted notice was posted.

The National Crime Agency also want to quiz him over 28 million Etizolam “street valium” tablets which were seized at a pill factory in England earlier that year in June 2020.
Stevenson was also wanted in connection with two suspected arson attacks on properties in the Lanarkshire and Forth Valley areas in May 2020.
He went on the run that year.

Both men remain in custody and will face extradition proceedings.

“The Agency has been working endlessly with Police Scotland and international partners to trace Stevenson and return him to the UK.
“It does not matter where fugitives go, we will work with partners like the Dutch National Police who’ve provided superb help, to trace and arrest them.”
Tim Mairs, Police Scotland Assistant Chief Constable said: “I am grateful for the assistance of the National Crime Agency and our
