The Romanian man who fled the UK to Spain with a missing schoolgirl has been arrested at an airport in Spain.
Ionut Gheorghe, 27, was detained by Spanish police in Los Molinos near Madrid on Friday
He was wanted under a European Arrest Warrant after it was suspected he was with a 15-year-old girl missing from her home.
The girl was found safe and well with Gheorghe.
A manhunt was sparked after the teenager, who is also Romanian, disappeared from her home in London, on Saturday evening, hours after Gheorghe was spotted taking £250 from a cash machine in Enfield.
Extradition proceedings are being started.
