A Kenyan man wanted in the United Kingdom over sexual-related offences has been arrested.

Anthony Kamau aka Anthony Kinuthe was picked up by detectives based at the Transnational Organized Crimes Unit on Friday, June 17, 2022.

In a statement, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said the fugitive is wanted at the Chelmsford Crown Court of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to answer to charges of sexual harassment of minors after jumping bail.

The suspected paedophile is reported to have sexually assaulted underage girls within an 11-year period from 2005.

He was also charged with four counts of engaging in a non-penetrative sexual activity with one girl and another count of inciting an underage girl to perform a sexual act in November 2019.

"However, after the suspect was granted bail, he fled from the United Kingdom to Kenya, where he has been engaging detectives in hide and seek games until his arrest this morning," DCI said.
