A wanted man was found and arrested by police after a 23-day manhunt.
Luke William Green from Watford was wanted for failing to appear at court in connection with a burglary.
On January 11, Hertfordshire Constabulary released an image of him and asked anyone who saw him or who had any information about his whereabouts to contact them.
The 44-year-old was then arrested in Watford on February 3, 23 days after the force had issued the appeal.

Green, of Rickmansworth Road, was kept in custody before being brought before Luton Crown Court on February 6.
After an appearance for a pre-sentencing report, he is next due to appear for sentencing at the same court on March 7.
A freedom of information request in November last year revealed that over the previous three years, less than eight per cent of burglaries in Watford had seen criminals brought to justice.
Hertfordshire Constabulary responded to the figures by highlighting how it has been focussing on crimes like burglary through regular campaigns.
