Kirk Bradley was caught in Amsterdam after spending 9 months on the run

One of the UK's most wanted crimelords, Kirk Bradley, has been captured in Holland.

Bradley, who had been on the run since fleeing a Manchester prison van last July, was arrested with his uncle in Amsterdam last night, the Serious Organised Crime Agency said.

He is expected to be returned to the UK to serve a life jail term for leading an underworld gang responsible for a series of shootings, and leaving a hand grenade on the front wall of Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish's home.

What shall we do with these foreigners - criminals !
11:21 AM on 04/06/2012
it doesn't actually say whether or not he's a foreigner; he was just on the run in holland from british police. Judging by his name, he might well be english in fact.

Oh these foreigners.

How do we as members of the public suddenly become privey to this person bank accounts and what amount is in them? He will be doing Life when he gets back in a Maximum Security prison with a Healthy Tarriff hopefully of 30 years plus.Even if he does run his crime empire from inside he won't be bathing in champagne or driving flash cars.I suppose also he will wondering how did they get me so quickly? Someone will be thanking Mr. Lawn for his contribution.

i agree with John Boy 1 he will run his empire from inside ,he will lose his liberty for umpteen years but will still get rich whilst doing time, 9mm or rope would fix it

He will be free in ten years while someone looks after his stall for him, so much for justice.

He will continue to run the criminal empire from behind the wall now. Prison is soft, people have Internet phones, all out can get drugs and amazing gyms. Holiday camps they are called. Somewhere for peace from the misses they say.

It costs £500.00 per week to keep an old person in a retirement home and £1100.00 to keep a prisoner in jail but our governments cannot look after pensioners but they maintain prisoners comforts. Fair, where is the bloody fairness.
