A MISSING man whose car was found parked in Arrochar two years ago has been arrested in Spain.
James Clacher, 55, has been missing from his home in Bellshill since Monday, May 30, 2022.
He was last seen in Airdrie at around 4pm on that day, though a black Suzuki Swift which Mr Clacher drives was traced to the Loch Long car park in Arrochar in Argyll the following day.
Police Scotland have confirmed that he has been traced.
A spokesperson said: “James Clacher, 55, reported missing from Bellshill on Monday May 30, 2022 has been traced.”
He now faces being extradited to the UK after it is understood he was arrested in Spain on Tuesday (May 21) on an international arrest warrant.
He was facing trial on rape charges at the time.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 55-year-old man was arrested on an international arrest warrant in Spain on Tuesday May 21, 2024.
“We are liaising with partner agencies, and he will be subject to extradition proceedings.”
