A man the public was asked to help the police locate at the beginning of the month has been found and is in police custody.

On October 4, the public has been asked to keep a look out for Charlot (Carmel) Gauci but no information about what prompted the rare request was given.

The man has a fraud case that has been pending since 2013. His last appearance in court was in 2015. An arrest warrant was issued more than a year ago.

The police said on Sunday Mr Gauci had been located and was in their custody.
