After a string of public appeals, a wanted man has been apprehended by police. 

Craig Parmenter, 36, who was wanted in connection with three thefts, has now been arrested and is in police custody. 

An appeal was launched to find him last week, in connection with these crimes. 

Parmenter had proven elusive, leading to Wiltshire Police issuing several appeals for information, which have now proven effective. 

A police spokesperson said: "Thank you to members of the public who supported our appeal."

As part of the appeal, an image was released of Parmenter that showed him as having long curly brown hair and brown facial hair, as well as contusions to his skin. 

A police spokesperson at the time said: "We are continuing to appeal for information for help to find wanted man Craig Parmenter.

"Parmenter, 36, is wanted in connection for three theft offences and is thought to be in Swindon.

"If you see him, or have any information on his whereabouts, please contact us on 101 quoting reference 54240046418."
