«Breaking News» British fugitive, 57, attempts to flee Australia on a jetski and armed with a crossbow

A British fugitive allegedly attempted to flee Australia on a jetski while armed with a crossbow - and he made it to within eight kilometres of Papua New Guinea.  

The 57-year-old, who was wanted for alleged drug-related offences in Western Australia, was arrested in mudflats on Saibai Island, off PNG, on Wednesday.

Border police said they received a tip-off a man, 'possibly armed with a crossbow and carrying additional fuel' was seen launching the jet ski from remote Pundsand Bay, in the far north-east of Australia. 

Australian Border Force (ABF) officers identified the man's travel path and uncovered his plans to flee Australia for Papua New Guinea. 

The man, 57, was arrested and taken to Thursday Island, where he was detained by police

He travelled roughly 150km (90 miles) across the often treacherous waters of the Torres Strait before his arrest. 

The man was transported to Thursday Island, where he was detained by Queensland Police pending extradition to Western Australia. 

The jetski was towed to Saibai island. 

'We have the ability to detect a range of border threats, including suspicious movements through the region,' the Australian Border Force's Jo Crooks said.

The alleged fugitive  was caught eight kilometres from the Papua New Guinea mainland

'Anyone who thinks they can either enter or leave Australia through the region without detection should think again.

'This is a perfect example of local intelligence sharing, community support, ABOC coordination and our maritime capability, all working together to enable a quick and effective multi-agency response to a situation.

'Through our posture in the Torres Strait and working closely with our AFP and Queensland Police partners, we have the ability to detect a range of border threats, including suspicious movements through the region.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
