A woman who is accused of using false identities to assist her in a number of jewellery thefts across London has been arrested.

Police have been trying to track down the suspect for the last six months.

The South East Fugitive Team linked the different false identities she was using and found out from a partner agency that she was staying in Romania.

A woman returned from Romania on Monday using a false passport and was arrested by officers after she came off the plane.

Bexley Police tweeted: “#Arrested “1 Arrested for theft who has been wanted for over six months.

“Great work by our South East Fugitive Team in tracking her down and @MetTaskforce for making the arrest.
