and live on Freeview channel 276
The force’s suspect team apprehended Tai Saide last night (February 4) at an address in Greater Manchester after he failed to appear at Derby Crown Court for drug offences nearly two years ago.
A warrant was issued by the court but Buxton Police said ‘it became extremely difficult’ to find Saide who had links to both Manchester and Yorkshire and was first declared a wanted man in 2019.
