A MAN has been arrested in the United Arab Emirates and extradited to Scotland in connection with an alleged serious sexual offence in Greenock eight and a half years ago.
Police Scotland announced that the 31-year-old had been held in Abu Dhabi on an international arrest warrant regarding an incident which took place here in December 2013.
He has been extradited back to the UK through co-operation between the force, the National Crime Agency, Interpol and the UAE authorities, including the Abu Dhabi Police.
The arrested man is due to appear at the High Court in Edinburgh tomorrow.
