BBC One - Fugitives, Series 2, Episode 10

A fugitive swims from Spain to Gibraltar to give himself up.

The two-year search for the man who abandoned kilos of cocaine at a North Yorkshire airfield ends when the fugitive turns up, soaking wet, on a beach in Gibraltar.

In October 2015, police became suspicious about a small aircraft that had begun to use Bagby airfield in North Yorkshire. When they moved to intercept the plane, the passenger ran away, leaving a suitcase containing seven kilos of cocaine behind. For two years, the search for Jason Waterman threw up no trace until, in June 2017, an appeal to find him was launched on Crimewatch Roadshow. That night, police at an airport checkpoint in Gibraltar were amazed when a very wet man gave himself up to them. The drug dealer, who had been on the run for almost two years, had swum to the British Territory to give himself up.

In London, the Metropolitan Police's Extradition Unit are looking for two fugitives. DS Dean Coyle and his team are searching for a man with a history of crime back in Brazil. Jose Vieira left the country before serving a three and a half year prison sentence for possessing a gun. The team head for north London to try and find him. Meanwhile, DS Pete Rance and his team are on the hunt for a man who has been identified as a criminal both at home and abroad. Edwin Norona should be in prison in Italy for committing rape and serious assault, but instead he is somewhere in London. For Pete, getting him off the street is a priority.

In North Yorkshire, the county’s fugitive hunter Paul Somerville is on the hunt for a man accused of a string of sex offences against children. But when officers go to arrest him in the seaside town of Scarborough, there is no sign of the wanted man.
