Escaped terror suspect Daniel Khalife has been arrested after breaking out of Wandsworth Prison on Wednesday, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.
Officers apprehended the fugirive just before 11am on Saturday, in the Chiswick area of west London and he is currently in police custody.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “We would like to thank the public and media for their support throughout our investigation to locate Khalife and we will provide a further update on his arrest in due course.”
Scotland Yard said earlier they were concentrating their hunt on the suburb after “intelligence-led activity and some confirmed sightings overnight”.
The Met said he was believed to be wearing a black baseball cap, black t-shirt and dark-coloured bottoms, and carrying a small bag or case as they scoured Chiswick, about five miles from Wandsworth prison which Khalife broke out from on Wednesday.
Chiswick resident Paul Wade opened his curtains to find five police officers outside his home on Saturday morning as part of the search for Daniel Khalife.
The 79-year-old told the PA news agency: “They said ‘I expect you know why we are here.’
“They were checking everybody’s gardens. Our neighbour told us there were sniffer dogs.
“As we understand it, they just clambered over the walls and inspected, they didn’t wake everybody up. They just checked. They had helicopters
