    Two-thirds of barbers and "close contact services" needed reminders to ensure they were operating in the right way to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

    A meeting of Nottingham City Outbreak Control Engagement Board was told 44 of 67 premises visited by environmental health officers and PCSOs between 30 November and 13 December needed "intervention actions" to "secure compliance".

    The interventions included two fines for a lack of face coverings.

    Ninety-eight out of 588 businesses visited over the same period were found to be "non-compliant".

    There were also 74 complaints made about businesses and eight requests received from businesses asking for information.

    Nottinghamshire Police took over the case last month and used information from mobile calls to track him down.

    He was arrested in Robertsbridge Road, Croydon, south London, on Thursday evening.

    Sgt Tim Cuthbert said: "The man was wanted for several years and has evaded capture by several forces previously.

    "He was using every method he could to avoid being caught and was living under at least two alias names meaning he was particularly difficult to pin down."

    The man was remanded to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court for his initial extradition hearing.
